32oz growler filled at the Fishers small batch brewery 7 days ago poured into a one liter mug. 8.1% ABV and 23 IBU per Sun King's website. The beer pours medium brown in color with minimal light brown head. The head recedes to a fat ring and leaves a little lacing. The aroma is yeasty with strong dark baked bread presence. The taste is more dark toasted bread with chocolate and caramel mixed in. No real hop flavor and little bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium to thin bodied, adequately carbonated and somewhat dry in the finish. No major brewing flaws. Overall, good. Decent American take on the style, but not worth tracking down.

This seasonable spring beer is one of my favorites, and I buy a some growlers each year at the downtown Indianapolis location. It is perhaps the best of the Sun King offerings, and it rates well alongside the German varieties. I'm sorry when its season ends. I've been disappointed with many of their other beers that taste like mad mixes of this or that. I wish Sun King made the Dominator Dopplebock available all all year as their flagship beer.

Draft: Poured a clear brown color bock with a nice brown foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of banana bread with light caramelized malt notes is quite pleasant. Taste is also a mix of banana bread with some caramelized toffee notes and some residual sugar notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Well balanced with good drinkability.
