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.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - APR 8, 2007
Dark brown color with a moderate, small tight bubbled head. Wet grain aromas. Toasted malt and light coffee in the background. Seems somewhat thin ans slightly watery in feel. Light toasted malt and a dry floral hops component in the flavors. The strength is not evident. Light roasted malt finish. Seems to get a touch thicker as it warms. More like a strong dunkel verses a doppel. Not enough residual sugars to add the malt flavors and a rich thickness. Thanks to Andre’ for this one.

BillKismet (2749) - Seattle, Washington, USA - APR 1, 2009
Brown-red with a lathered head. Weird aroma, perhaps antiseptic? Heavy maltiness, but very compact flavors that don’t really unwind. Not sure what this is trying to be.
