Mar 6, 2009 hmm, like sam adams boston lager on steroids. Boston Lager would be Bonds with the Pirates, this is Bonds with the Giants. Bigger and bolder. The beer could benefity from more attenuation, but that’s a function of the lager yeast.

Feb 23, 2009 An unusual and enjoyable take on a double bock. The hearty malts do a decent job of offsetting the overwhelming hops, though this beer is not for those who don’t enjoy bitterness. Overall, a beer to be tasted.

Feb 23, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours reddish mahogany with thin tan head. The aroma is fruity with plum, pear, cherry, etc.; also some graham crackers. The flavor is caramel, trail mix, dreid fruit, and some leafy hops. Some chocolate and toffee come out more as it warms. Grassy hops come out in the finish and balance those malts, then slightly overtake them. Pretty good.

Feb 8, 2009 Tap at The Craft Ale House. Pours a clear deep ruby amber with a thin lasting head. Aroma is intially tons of amarillo fruity and tropical hops, slight cat pee, orange rind, mango, and then some smooth sweet caramel malts. Flavor is a pretty good balance between the fruity troipical hops and a lto of sweet crystal and munich malts. Seemed a bit over filtered a bit slicka dn a hint of diacetyl. Pretty good idea actually - reminds me way more of a double amber, or east coast DIPA than a doppelbock.

Feb 2, 2009 Bottle: Poured an amber color with not much head. The aroma was citrus, hops, and roasted malts. The flavor was malty, flowers, grapefruits, and a touch of hops. Overall, a tasty brew.

Jan 23, 2009 Pours a pale orange-brown color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of citrus, hops and toasted malt. Medium, clean body with flavors of citrusy hops and sweet caramel malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a lingering hoppy aftertaste. Overall this "Americanized" Doppelbock is fairly good.

Dec 27, 2008 12oz bottle thanks to Odeed. Pours a dark amber with a nice tan head. Lots of lacing lining the glass. Nose is of peach-flavored tea. Taste is similar to nose, but better, sweeter. Mouthfeel is medium with a bitter finish.
