German Style Doppelbock brewed with Tettnang hops. This bready brew is the liquid fortification you need to make it through the long winter ahead.

16 ounce can into a pilsner glass. Canned 11/22/21, had4/18/22.
Pours a cola color, with a three inch head on a rougher pour with good retention and a decent amount of foamy lacing. Aromas of caramel, malt, bread, a little yeast. Flavors of malt, caramel, light bread, a little chocolate, some herbal hop bitterness. Smooth, a good lighter medium body, well carbonated.
A pleasant, easy drinker. It’s a bit lighter for the style, but has a pretty solid malt backbone. There were some white grape like notes in both the aroma and flavor, that mostly- but not totally, went away.

Poured from a crowler. Shimmering brown body with a beige cap and trace amounts of lacing. Smell is led most by the caramel malt, dark fruit and slight oxidation, very full and pleasant. Taste stars dark fruit, caramel, faint berries, faint dark toasty yeast, even more faint earth, with a finishing kiss of dark cocoa. Very sweet second half of sip for a doppelbock. Feel is malty, smooth, light for style, and cool. On the lighter and sweeter end of the spectrum but plenty of flavor
