COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The Doppel Bock style of beer ranges from the round to the profound to the enveloping. In describing Bock beer, the term "single" Bock is never used. Just Bock. Nor is a Double Bock twice as strong. "Double" Bock is a very unGerman exaggeration. "Super Bock" might be a bit more accurate. Clearly, when this style was first developed, the idea was to exceed what had previously been the strongest type of beer.
This was finally achieved by the monks of St. Francis of Paula, who probably first made beer as "liquid bread" to be consumed at the time of Lent.
Ingredients: Pale 2 Row, Munich, Caramel, Cara Pilsner and Black malts, domestic Mt. Hood, Cascade and Centennial hops.
Available January through March.

CaptainCougar (6749) - Boz Scaggsville, Maryland, USA - MAY 3, 2003
Medium copper color and a thin head. Sweet caramel malty aroma. Metallic off-flavors are present as well as an unbalanced body and a sticky sweet finish. I love doppelbocks, but this wasn't up to par.

jerc (5446) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 10, 2004
Nice brown-red colour with a moderate fluffy tan head. Sweet malty aroma. Flavour is largely sweet malt with touches of caramel. Finish shows a kiss of alcohol with a dry tangy not quite astringent aftertaste lingers. Nice smooth palate. Thanks obisbeer.

JPDIPSO (4957) - Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA - JUN 3, 2002
A dark amber with a wispy tan head. Citric hops and cookie malt aroma. Smooth light body with a slight syrupy feel. Lacks some body and residual sweetness.

heemer77 (4754) - Urbandale, Iowa, USA - JUN 6, 2005
Poured a dark and clear brown. The head is thin from the start. The aroma is old cherries, ashtray and a little caramel. The taste has oak with some molasses. There is also a little bit of dry apple. The rather thin body helps this to stay refreshing. This could use a little more character, but isn’t bad.
