Commercial Description:
In German, Munich is "Munchen", or "place of the monks." While Belgium is now better known for monastic brewing, many of Germany's great breweries have monastic origins. During the forty days of Lent leading up to Easter, the monks fasted, allowing themselves no solid food. They developed doppelbock, a beer style solid enough to get them through their fasting period. Names for German doppelbocks always use the suffix "-ator", so we've followed suit. Brooklynator Doppelbock is brewed in the classic style, often referred to as "liquid bread." It's brewed from 100% German malts and hops and fermented cold with a Bavarian lager yeast. It has a bready, toffee-like aroma, crisp, moderate bitterness, a silky slightly sweet center and a long bready finish. The monks fasted, but you don't have to. Brooklynator Doppelbock is great with pork dishes, venison, duck, sausages, earthy beans, mushrooms, and full-flavored cheeses.

On draft at Oldsmar Tap House. Served up in a stem glass. Very dark with a nice creamy head. Flavors were extremely good with a balance of malts, chocolate, and even toffee.

Growler from Whole Foods Bowery. Deep brown amber beer, creamy tan head. Aroma is rich and sweet. Very clean and malty with lots of sweet toasted caramel character over dates and figs. Lightly earthy throughout but with lots of malty sweetness. Balanced though, with a good richness, but still well-attenuated and very clean. A touch of smokiness and brown sugar throughout. Some rye bread character as well. I think this is underrated... really tasty, IMO.

Draught at Circa 5/2/08. First impression to the palate is huge malty sweetness, but as it warmed, the hotness came out. I wouldn’t mind having this as my only food during a fast.

Growler. Dark brown with a small head. Flavor is chocolate and toffee with some cigar tobacco. Body is silky smooth with an even better finish.

Growler from Shoreline Beverage in Huntington, NY. Very enticing aroma of malts, fruit, banana-like aromas, very pleasing. The appearance is very dark, an opaque brown, not usually seen with this style. Nice off-white head. Very attractive. The flavor is amazing, definite maltiness, fruit, mostly plums, raisins and bananas, very complex and satisfying. The palate leaves a fruity sweetness. Thick mouthfeel. Great beer.
