Chestnut brown with great clarity and a rocky, beige head that holds nicely all the way down, this is an exquisitely crafted beer. Malt and hops are present in abundant profusion, from the initial whiff of brown sugar and citrus, through the soft, mouth-coating burnt caramel and dark fruit sweetness of raisins, dates, and cherries braced with spruce and wintery spices, to the grapefruit bitterness and drying alcohol of the finish.
From the Brewer – “Uerige DoppelSticke might just be “Germany’s interpretation of a barley-wine”, ie a third definition next to England’s “malt-driven” idea {such as JW Lees Vintage Harvest Ale} and America’s “hop-heavy” version {such as Sierra Nevada’s BigFoot}.”
