Day 6 Seasons Greetings
This German styled dark lager is big in roasted malt flavour and has a touch of coffee and chocolate , known as 'liquid bread' by monks in the 18th century the doppelbock is a big bodied , big flavoured beer and this is Red Racer's take

330ml bottle, day 6 of the 2016 Seasons Greetings holiday mixer from Parallel 49 and Central City - I'll never understand some of the selections in these sorts of things - a Spring brew, with Oktoberfest iconography, at Christmastime.
This beer pours a clear, very dark cola-tinted brown colour, with one finger of puffy, rather loosely foamy, and bubbly tan had, which leaves some Loch Ness monster (or Ogopogo, I suppose) 'profile' lace around the glass as things slowly subside.
It smells of gritty and grainy caramel malt, day-old coffee, bittersweet chocolate, some free-range ash, further toasted nuttiness, molasses, and pretty subtle leafy and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy caramel malt, a wisp of biscuity toffee, cafe-au-lait, dry cocoa powder, some roasted bar-top nuts, reduced brown sugar, and more laid-back earthy, weedy, and floral green hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly gentle in its lazy-seeming frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, but for a touch of smokey acridity taking its minor toll. It finishes off-dry, the big malt coming to terms with its coffee, chocolate, nutty, and other houseguests.
Overall, this is a perfectly acceptable version of the style, lots of various flavours abounding, and, best of all, those 8 points of wowee sauce are nowhere to be seen (for now, that is). I guess that's part of the reason why such brews are still appropriate fodder for wintertime packages like this - what do I know, eh?
