COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
German Doppel Bock style of exceptional quality, flavors and body. The Navigator is CABC’s winter-seasonal offering. With a toasty biscuit flavor, it’s unlike any beer you’ve had while managing to stay strictly within style. Slightly sweet to offset the higher alcohol content, it’s a grand version of a classic German Doppel-Bock. This beer is a differing take on the average winter seasonal take and we think you’ll thank us for it.

This years Doppelbock style lager has no spices as it did last year but offers a spectacular mouthful of flavor. EXCEPTIONAL!! Ready Nov 1st

Bottle from beer of the month club. Toasty smell and decent color. Roasted malt taste and little to no hoppiness. Medium mouthfeel. An average dopplebock brew. Would drink again but there's better ones out there. ---Rated via my mouth

Scrapersnbeer (451) - Boston, Massachusetts, USA - MAY 16, 2012
Faint brown sugar aroma, not what’s expected. Ruby red color, fairly still. Taste of roasted grains and caramel. Not heavy or even cloying. Doppels are either light lager or darker dunkel in body and character. This one is the former. Needs more malt for the style, or more hops to make it something else.

Dogbrick (4837) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - MAY 11, 2012
Hazy copper color with a medium thin light beige head that dissipates quickly. Short strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel malt and fruit. Medium body with a bready malt character and notes of ripe fruit and mild hops. The finish is short with a fruity malt aftertaste. Slightly above average overall.

Pours a two-fingered off-white head that fades quickly to a ring leaving no lace. Hazy amber color. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Burnt caramel nose and flavor is malty, burnt caramel. $2.25 for a 12oz bottle from Julio’s Liquors Westborough, Ma.

danielcurtis81 (1480) - San Diego, California, USA - APR 10, 2012
Served from a 12 oz bottle from Flying Noodle Beer of the Month. The appearance is a deep copper hue. Not too much head retention. Nice malty aromas with a light fruit tone. This has a nice mild rich malty flavor. Good fruity flavors, mostly grape. A nice medium bodied and refreshing. A nicely done Doppelbock .

Bottle with fantasia. Medium head and small lacing. Aromas of bread, malt, spice, and caramel. Taste is fruity malt and biscuit. Not a bad doppel.

Rustyham (1396) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - MAR 9, 2012
Translucent amber color, little head, thick, and no aroma. Flavor is a huge thick malty prune-like flavor, very wintery, chewy, and slightly smoky. This is a lot bigger than i expected, and seems to actually make me more thirsty than i was before drinking it.
