Just in time for the fest season and crisp weather, we are very excited to release our Dopplebock! Big, malty, sweet, and a touch of warmth form the large character of this beer. Munich malt serves as a base malt and is complimented by CaraMunich, CaraRed, and Pilsen malt which help shape this lovely and complex German lager.

On tap at brewery:
Ruby-tinged medium brown with apparent clarity of body. No more than a modest ring for head, there’s a couple spots left on the glass.
Nose is light, but moderately sweet. It has me thinking of a Manhattan, though the scents are weak enough I could be imagining it.
Sweet malt, but restrained from being sugary. Very light carbonation, but that works with the tingle from the 9+% ABV. Toasted malt that has a caramelized malt note, a light nutty note, some cherry fruit, and a very light hint of oak (from where, I can’t guess).
The feel has an interesting dual personality. Flat but not, somehow lighter than expected given a medium body with some light stickiness, some alcohol presence but not warming or biting.
I’m thinking this is actually a little thicker than other Dopplebocks I’ve had (Tröegs comes to mind), but that assessment is based on memory. Sitting with it right now, I’m quite fond of it.
