UPDATED: FEB 12, 2011 This is amazing beer. The ruby brown color and nice head was very inviting. The full flavor was of malt and some spices. The bitterness was well balanced. The Hibernator went very well with the club sandwich. The higher alcohol was perfect. This is only purchased in growlers or on tap. I am heading this way again to try some more of their products. The view from their lunchroom is of the Afton pass. As we were coming back from Snowshoe we enjoyed lunch and purchased two growlers. Blue Moutian is expanding their dinning area. The full body taste of the Doppelbock appeals to me. It may have more sweetness than others. I stand by my rating.
