COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Liberator is a deep amber to dark brown colored beer with a rich and complex malty flavor. It has a touch of roast character and no hop flavor. Hop bitterness is generally only high enough to balance the malt flavors to allow moderate sweetness in the finish. This is a Bavarian specialty that is most closely associated with serving in the Winter and Spring Seasons.

This would be a good everyday take on this style if you were into drinking DBs everyday. Very mellow, with great balance, has a slight bit of roastiness, some dark wheat grainness, but imperceptible yeastiness. Creamy mouthfeel. Decent

Dark brown with a tan head. Dark wheat and rye bread aromas. Medium body and smooth. Good taste of smooth blackened malts and other yeasty bread grains here. Very easy drinking; not overly sweet, syrupy or alcoholic like some DB’s. Really enjoyed this one.457

This beer is starting to grow on me. It’s dangerously drinkable and will sneak up on you and kick your ass( it has with mine a few times). I would love to see this with some more rich melanoidin sweetness to balance out the roastiness and increase the body. It doesn’t change the fact that I really enjoy drinking a big mug of this beer!

Y’alls nuts. Baron comes through like a mofo with the Liberator. Quite possibly the best doppelbock I have ever had. It’s flavors are subtle and balanced and there’s not much to the finish... because it’s a LAGER! If you think this beer is mediocre, you should rethink what it means to be a "beer enthusiast"

riversideAK (4381) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - DEC 3, 2007
Dark brown with no head. Aroma is roasted malt and sweet chocolate. The flavor is sweet and roasty. A little dry and somewhat crisp in the finish, but is a pretty creamy lager. Decent.

22oz Bomber - 99 Bottles - Federal Way, WA
Aroma – Deep roasty malt aroma. The spices and flavors where very rich.
Appearance – Dark brown, clear with a thin tan head.
Flavor – A deep malty flavor with some great spices in there also. I loved the deep flavors of the beer as it warmed up.
Palate – A deep rich beer with some great flavors on the tounge. This finished quite nice.
Overall –A great Doppel I liked this beer very much. Lots of after esters and spices left for the great experience. A great winter style brew.
