Had on tap at The Map Room (served a bit cold for my tastes for a style I like warmer.)
Good Looking doppel, dark ruby body with lace the depth of the glass.
Smells are average as I prefer a full-on roasty and this only shows in the after-Taste; probably bumped by the hop selection.
Tastes are well-balanced; in fact, never sweet (which I imagine hard to achieve in this style.) Semi-dry finish, though not as soft as the best Doppels.

I was hard on Hailstorm in my two previous reviews (both me-too IPAs), so I reviewed their website and decided they deserve some OA Hugs. They are just over five years old and have diversified into the obscure stuff like barrel-aging and even have a couple of saisons and triples I wouldn't mind finding.
