Blue Corn Doppelbock

tap at brewpub-albuquerque location. Very sweet aroma full of malts. dark, ruby appearance. mild carbonation true to the style. very sharp malts/alcohol. Salvator-esque. solid offering ReRate-bottle hand bottled from Ted Rice, the head brewer. Im just going to add some notes to my origonal rating because it was pretty good. This is a very good bock IMO. I like the earthy hop notes, especially from this bottled version. Again, Thanks Ted for hooking me up with a bomber!

Reddish-brown body. Very malty with a prominent note of blueberries and a hint of chocolate and rum. Medium malty sweetness. Has a big, rich mouthfeel but is also very smooth. The alcohol bite is very apparent. Very unique and enjoyable as a long slow sipper.

Bottle-conditioned sample. Prominent grapey notes. Munich malts seem evident. Grapes and bread crusts abound in this beer.
