Let’s take it down to the basics, the elements, the core. Back for 2022, this series celebrates and highlights the four core ingredients that make beer so great: malt, hops, yeast and water.

This doppelbock was brewed in collaboration with our friend at Washington’s own Skagit Valley Malting. Built 100% WA grown malt varietals: Pilsner, Munich, and Dark Munich.

Thin, ivory head. Clear, medium dark auburn, tinted chestnut brown. Moderate, medium heavily toasted malt and a bit of a caramel sweetness, for the aroma. A good amount of a slightly woody sharpness up front, that does fade by the finish, then a non-sweet caramel flavor and a medium roasted note, mingling with the somewhat sharp start. A light body for a doppelbock and not bad at all.
