Batch 150 Doppelbock tasting notes

Cold

Pours milky orange, nice fine light tan head that stays

Aroma butterscotch, sweet fruity malt, with some tartness on top

Mouthfeel moderate/heavy, clings a bit but not overly, leaves light coating

Flavor leans towards malt, but yeast offers crisp tart edge, hop bitterness at end with slight spice, ends on malt bitterness.  Alcohol is well concealed.

Finishes sweet with slight fruit, bitterness.

Overall, not at all syrupy as intended, needs way more dextrins, with a deeper malt dive.  Really a pleasant beer, but more of a high-strength Marzen than a true doppelbock.  Need to investigate available techniques to get that heavy syrup effect.
