Ottos Ottonator

Brewed by Ottos Pub & Brewery
Style: Doppelbock
State College, Pennsylvania USA

Draft at capones. Pours a dark brune body with a tan head. Sweet chocolate and lager notes. Sweet malty musky and a light medicinal cherry flavors. eh.

Darker brown with a sweet aroma of raisin, dark bread, brown sugar, and light spice. Flavor is big and sugary with lots of brown sugar, plums, raisins, and assorted dark fruits with more hops than usual for a Doppelbock. Good stuff.

[Draft @ Capones] Poured a dark brown color with a thin light tan head that left no lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, dark fruits, and light cocoa. Taste of more roasted malts, sweet chocolate, molasses, raisins, and light alcohol in the finish.

On tap. Poured a deeper amberish/ brown color with a smaller sized off white head. Aromas of nuts, caramel, and just all around malty. Tastes of nuts, brown sugar, caramel, and toffee, and doughy. Lacking left on the galss.

Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a lovely dark red-caramel color with a medium sized orange-tan head. The aroma was faint tangy and malty. The flavor was tangy, bitter and lightly fruity with notes of caramel, nut, cherry and vanilla. Well done.

One of Otto’s best. On tap at brewpub. Really strong beer with lots of flavor. Rich, sweet. Very sweet. Thick. Delicious. Try this one.

Draft at otto’s. deep amber color with a light tan head that dissipates quickly after the pour. light malt and caramel with a little spice and a decent amount of hop definitely smelled of alcohol with a malty backnote.

Draft glass at KClinger’s. Burnt amber with virtually no head. The aroma is of cooked brown sugar. Light up front, this predominately comes across wtih a cooked vegetable alcoholyness. Not a lot of body here and the alcohol takes on a bit of a funk as it warms. (#3280, 1/9/2008)
