The medieval name of the city Kaufbeuren, Buron, stands as godfather for this dark doppelbock. After its lagering it achieves a strong malt flavor.

"Pours a dark brown/red - looks like a cola. Half-inch thick light tan head with minimal lace. Aroma of sweet malts, raisins, prunes, citrus/orange, molasses, and spice mix. The mouthfeel is smooth, thick and rich. Flavors of caramel malts, citrus, raisins, toffee, and spices."

[2] Review by Sap from Tucson, AZ, USA who has tried this beer once. (7/24/2007 1:31:45 AM)
"Pours into my 25cl tulip with a three-finger thick, amber-tinged, tan colored head. The beer is a concentrated amber color that shows a brilliantly clear, concentrated cranberry hue when held up to the light. Ah, rich, fairly concentrated malt aromas greet my nose. A mix of caramelized malt sugars, browned-crusty multi-grain bread, brown sugar, raisin-like malt and basically a whole slew of other concentrated malt descriptors that I can't quite think of. Almost has a jam-like, though not quite fruity aromatic note here.
Thick and rich like a Doppelbock should beer; the beer coats the mouth with creamy, lightly sticky malt goodness. It is still not overly heavy and would be perfectly quaffable on a cold winter's night. Somewhat sweet up front; the beer has just enough complex, chewy malt character that this does not become cloying. Flavor notes reminiscent of traditional, moist, rich, German black bread, hints of molasses, a touch of chocolate / lightly roasted coffee. A touch metallic in the finish (perhaps tinny), though not overly so and it is barely noticeable. This one hits on all the right notes for a Doppelbock, though for some reason it seems to lack the qualities that would push it to the next level; a downright solid brew though."
