Typically a winter beer, due to its popularity, we have been brewing Midnight Whistle all year long. We hand roast the malts in small batches for a heartier flavor. This full-bodied beer is for beer drinkers who want to experience everything a beer has to offer.

While passing through Hermann, we dropped in to pick up some beer, and I bought this six pack. It is a dark brown, almost black beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is malty, with some caramel, but not as pronounced as I expected. Similarly, the taste is moderately sweet, but not as malty and full as expected for the style. Full in body and satisfying. This is okay, but just okay...not as rich as many examples of the style.

Full bodied - No it's watery and thin. Listed as a dopplebock, really it's only 5%. All the beers from this brewery are for the masses.

From the bottle to a Pint Glass. Beer purchased December 26, 2011. Midnight Whistle Dopplebock. Label different from what's pictured here though.
Appearance is really good. Typical coloring for most "Bock" styles I've had. Dark Copper/Brown.
Smell: Malty but can't really distinguish more.
Taste: This is where I was pretty disappointed. First sip and on I got a strong "Ashtray" flavor. (I don't smoke, and had this beer at home away from any smoking/ashtrays)
As I've gotten to half the glass slowly drinking, I'm really not impressed. I feel this to be below average in taste compared to most if not all Bock styles I've had. Seriously not really liking this.
Mouthfeel is average, not too light or heavy. Mid pack here.
Overall the taste ruined it for me. I'll more than likely offer up a few bottles at a tasting I have coming up for others to try and see what opinions others get. I'd take a New Glarus Uff-Da Bock to this anytime. Also forgot to mention this was my first beer of the night and the palate was clean.

Visited the brewery today to pick up a couple christmas presents and check out the facilities. The doppelbock is one of my favorite styles and this was the beer I was excited to try. The beer didn't disappoint... The color was spot on even though the nose wasn't that powerful malt that I was hoping. The taste and mouthfeel were malty and surprisingly smooth for the style. I was expecting it to be a little bigger beer than it turned out to be but I thought over all it was a well brewed beer.

Purchased as Tin Mill "Midnight Whistle".
A: Pours a dark Mahogany color with a small head and bits of lacing.
S: Smell of roasted nuts mixed in with some bittersweet chocolate and coffee.
T: Taste begins with a crisp bitterness then a coffee and bittersweet chocolate mixture. Has a slightly bitter finish.
F: Fairly moderate body, quite smooth.
O: No bad, but doesn't seem like a Doppelbock. Reminds me more of a Dunkel. Nice change of pace beer. worth a try.

Pours a clear, dark brown color. 1/4 inch head of an off-white color. Decent retention and decent lacing. Smells of strong malt (a noticeable freshness), sweet malt, and hint of hop. Fits the style of a Doppelbock. Mouth feel is smooth and clean, with an average carbonation level. Tastes of sweet malt, hint of hops, hint of yeast, and slight roasted malt. Overall, the malt flavors and aromas are overly dominant, otherwise good feel.
