This semi-strong, dark lager is dominated by notes of toffee and chocolate and was lagered for over 6 months for an extra clean finish.

Revisited January 10th, 2024

Pours a clear, dark brown color; opaque in the glass; dense, semi-creamy, thick head, khaki hued. Rich, malty nose; sweet roasted grains and toffee. Dark and sweet malt flavors; light cocoa and milk chocolate; very faint bitterness. Heavy, silky body; dense and slippery on the palate; viscous.

I still perceive this doppelbock as being one of the best I've encountered. Simple and straightforward in one aspect, very balanced and yet complex in another. The ABV has dropped since my last time enjoying this beer, but I foresee another brewery trip to acquire some more soon enough.

I give the look and smell the same rating. The looks are great and the smell malty, rich, and warm. I'm bumping up the taste significantly, primarily because of its bold malt-forward flavors; a fine combination of toasted and roasted grain notes, not too sweet at all; very well-balanced; well masked alcohol presence. The mouthfeel also gets a nudge upwards; it's rich, smooth, and coats the palate with a fantastic dark malt quality; fantastic balance between sweet and malty while maintaining a semi-dry quality.

Goat Patch has only been brewing their doppelbock within the past year or so. It is a true gem of theirs and it seems that it's been part of their regular rotation since its introduction within the past 1-2 years (I don't know for sure when it first appeared). This is a beer that has simply improved during its brief release history.

Original September 17th, 2020 ratings: 3.75 4.0 4.0 4.0 4.0

Deep, dark brown body (nearly black); thin yet creamy and lasting khaki colored head. Beautiful roasted grain aroma. Malty backbone flavors; deep caramel; cinnamon; subdued hop bitterness lying beneath a dull, full grain sweetness; suggestion of cocoa; minimal alcohol presence. Heavy body; fairly smooth and dense; excellent residual sugar heft and minimal alcohol warmth.

Goat Patch has dialed in a fine and tasty doppelbock offering. It brings balance and flavor to the fore, nicely mutes the alcohol presence, and leaves you with a nice malt-bomb boozer.
