Commercial Description:
The doppelbock style of lager came into being in Middle Ages era Bavaria in what is today southern Germany. It was originally brewed by monks to provide themselves with a liquid form of nutrition during the fasting period of Lent when no solid food was allowed. This has earned the doppelbock the nickname "liquid bread" because of its rich and filling capacity. The Thomas Hooker Doppelbock Lager blends huge amounts of imported Munich, Vienna and Moravian malts with select dark roasted malts to achieve a malt lover's dream of a rich and creamy brew. Subtly hopped with noble German and Czech hops and cool fermented with a Bavarian lager yeast, this beer will leave you happy to give up solid food for a while. No dessert necessary.

Nice clean dark brown/red pour with a fluffy off white head and lace. An aroma of roasted malt and light brown sugar. A flavor that is dominated maltiness, caramel and abv. A decent finishing bitter that is very nice. Palate is almost foamy but not. Overall a very solid beer that I truly enjoy

Small tan head, nutty nose. Taste is roasty, some espresso in finish, very sweet throughout. Great body for a doppelbock. PEPSICAN, once again, I thank you.

Solid black color. Tan layer of foam that coats glass. Aroma not strong and bready. Multiple layers of flavor on the tongue Starts out with with sweet malty notes than switches to a roasted espresso finish.

Pours dark brown with a minimal head. Strong aroma of caramel, nuts, and toffee. Smells absolutely delicious. Taste of toffee and caramel, gently rolling to a lasting bitter finish. Very thick mouthfeel. This is a fantastic beer!

Bottle. Reddish dark brown colour with a light light fizzy head. Aroma of fruitness and very little maltness. Flavour of malt, sweetness and very tasty of caramel and toffee. Ends up very unclassic
