Schtüpulator is a German-style Doppelbock. It was brewed with German Munich and Vienna malts, and hopped with German Hersbrucker. This beer will age beautifully at lager temperatures.

Can: Poured a slightly hazy deep copper color ale with a large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt notes with some residual sugar notes. Taste is a mix of caramelized malt notes with some residual sugar notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol notes. Well made Doppelbock but it doesn’t have the typical banana bread notes.

Can from MrBarleywine, thanks as always for hooking me up!
Can pours a mostly clear deep copper with an off white head that slowly dissipates. Rich toasty bready crackery burnt sugar aromas with hints of earthy fruity hopiness to counter. Medium body light alcohol warming. Very nice.

No a bad doppelbock but not as good as I expected. A bit to heavy for my tastes. I had it along side some Spaten Optimator as a comparison and I enjoyed the Optimator a lot more.

16 oz can split with my wife. Aroma and flavor feature caramel malts, light floral/earthy hoppiness, toasted malt, and hints of coffee, cocoa, and dark fruits (raisins, figs). Smooth/full/creamy mouthfeel and the 8% abv is nowhere to be found. This is an incredible beer and 100% true to style. Delicious stuff.
Glad to have gotten a can to try, but I wish I had a 4-pack of these...every week for the rest of my life.

Real dark malty look with an even heavier feel. I enjoyed the test but found this beer to be much to heavy. There was no benefit of having that heavy a feel as many Nick beers have this same flavor with less heaviness. Somewhat disappointed
