Sampling a cellar temp 16 oz can poured into my snifter. The beer was purchased at the brewery on a recent visit with the owner Mark.
Beer pours a rich mahogany color and some deep ruby highlights. There is a creamy beige to copper colored head of 1.5 cm. This foam fades quickly to a thin edge layer.
The aroma is rich with malt character. I get toffee and caramel mixing together. There is also a bit of dark fruit, plum or red grape mixed in but no hint of hop character. The booze is also well hidden on the nose.
First sip reveals a medium body with a slick body and spacious carbonation. The beer drinks very easy based on the physical traits.
The flavor is as the nose advertised with caramel and toffee. A dose of brown sugar and some dark fruit again with plums on the finish. No hops shine through here and no abv either. This is a very easy drinking doppelbock and I enjoy drinking it.
Great beer for the season and for any malt loving beerdrinkers out there.
