I ended up getting lousy efficiency because of a bad grain crush among other things but things turned out well in the end.

Single infusion mash at 157F for 60 mins. and a batch sparge at 170F. Collected 7 gals of wort and did a late addition on the Munich LME.

????? correct if I'm wrong isn't this all-grain ? description says partial.

3.0 lb Munich Amber - 3 lbs of Munich Extract

Although it depends on def of partial... With only 3lbs of extract it might as well be considered all-grain. I just keep it in the recipe just in case my eff. is bad and I need the extract. I just didn't want to classify it as all-grain since I used a little bit of extract in it.

How was the resulting beer? Does it resemble any specific commercial Doppelbock?

I haven't brewed this in quite a while, but as I recall it was good. Would be even better with a good bock water profile. This is not a clone of any specific beer though. It's just a mix of a few different recipes I've brewed before. This one does need to age a bit though before it shines.
