Tough Man Dopplebock
Lumber Barons Brewery

Had this one on tap at a bar just down the street from the brewery, smell of biscuity malts, color a classic amber, tastes of german malts little to no hop presence, abv quite high for the drinkability, and as such it makes a good session beer, if you don't mind partying a little hard. Overall an average sample, but one I'd order again.

 

The appearance was a mostly dark brown color with a thick finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a good pace. Slight lace. The aroma blended some dark and milk chocolate smoothly into a light lager breadiness. Ever so slightly grassy hops at the end. The flavor leads with a sweet lager smoothness and ends up with just a touch of roast as it warms. Aftertaste wraps together the lager yeasty/breadiness on in with a malty finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt as projected by the brewer. Overall, nicely done doppelbock as I would have this again if I could get it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Reviewed on 6/30/2010. On tap at the brewpub. Pours a clear red/amber with a small white head. Aroma of sweet fruits (almost juice-like with all the sweetness) and sweet malt. Flavor of sweet malt and still fruity. The texture isn't juice like but the taste was. Ok overall.
