Pours a ruby red, finger of head with little retention or lacing. Nose is toasted biscuit malts, hints of toffee and raisins. Surprisingly loaded with grassy hops and toasted biscuit notes, toffee and raisins come through on the finish. A solid brew and well worth a try.

I enjoyed a growler of Bruinator during my vacation. I was pleased by the rich maltiness (dare I say sweetness) of this brew. Grizzly Paw continues to step up its game - I could drink this stuff all day long. Actually, I did...

Appearance - Pours a mahogany brown with two fingers of foamy tan head.
Smell - bready caramel malts, toffee sweetness, dark fruits, and hint of earthy and noble hops.
Taste - Starts off with the bready caramel malts and quickly goes into the toffee sweetness. It then goes into the hint of earthy and noble hops and finishes with the dark fruits.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Finishes with a lingering sweetness from the malts and dark fruits.
Overall - A well executed and enjoyable brew. This brew hits all fronts of the style.

650ml bottle - hah, their Doppelbock has a lower ABV than their Maibock! And the mountains shall slide into the sea!
This beer pours a clear, dark ruby amber hue, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and mildly creamy tan head, which leaves some random chunky graffiti lace around the glass as it slowly ebbs away.
It smells of bready caramel malt, biscuity toffee, mixed dark dried fruit (yes, raisin chief among them), and subtle leafy, earthy, and weedy noble hops. The taste is more bready, slightly doughy, and grainy caramel malt, a waning toffee sweetness, kind of tart besotted raisins, further indistinct black orchard fruit notes, some burnt sugar astringencies, and the same leafy, etc. old-school hops from the nose.
The carbonation is nice and gentle in its coddling frothiness, the body a decent medium weight, and mostly smooth, with an ethereal creaminess building as things warm. It finishes well off-dry, the complex malt and raisin fruitiness nudging out the now wan Germanic hops.
A pleasant, and easy-drinking version of the style, and, as noted, the ABV is kept quite low for this normally higher-octane sort of affair. At any rate, worthy of helping keep the late, late (late) cool Spring mountain air at bay, I would imagine.
