Ceremonially released each year to brighten the last few months of winter, Doppelbock is the "liquid bread" enjoyed in Bavaria during Lent. Branchinator is a strong amber lager brewed in the classic Munich tradition to be doubly rich and malty. Enjoy a glass with some of your favorite folks!

Poured from the can into a pokal style glass.
Foamy fine topped khaki head of three easy fingers. Holds with some decent retention slowing down to an eventually bubbly puck. Deep rust and copper red, nearly metallic looking with exceptional clarity, nearly shiny in appearance.
The aroma harks back to just the good basic and really well presented classics of the style. Spicy clove notes and faint hints of phenolic flavor. Light touching caramel, spicy hop herbal angles, and a faint touch of toffee and raisin together. Exceptionally clean, a bit of mineral like action as well.
Considerably above average palate. Chewy body with a good hint of exceptional flavor. Chunky sense of chocolate malt, hints of caramel, and clean finishing with sticky toffee. Herbal hop finish, touches black tea slightly, but peppery clove is the real winner here. Body comes out more like nougat and nutty after some time consuming.
Real nice designed and delicious doppelbock.

Garnet, thin tan head, retention and lacing aren't great
This beer smells like bread more than any other beer I can remember. Some dried fruit, nuts, and caramel in there, too.
Tastes like a fruit and nut loaf drizzled with rum.
Heavy but not syrupy, warming, lower carbonation
I actually really like it.
