Commercial Description:
This award winning doppelbock (8.2% alcohol by volume) lager is brewed with a generous supply of Munich, carapils, caramel and chocolate malts and is fermented with Bavarian lager yeast. The resulting caramel sweetness and rich mouthfeel are complimented by the mild bittering of German Hallertau hops. 1997 Great American Beer Festival Silver Medal Winner

Very light aroma. I think I smell a little apple. Hazy amber color with small tan head. Begins with a malty and nutty. Nuts fade in the finish leaving a sticky palate in the back of the mouth.

There was virturally no head on this whatsoever, and left a minimal amount of lacing. This beer poured a brown color and featured a sweet and malty nose with hints of caramel and bread. The flavors were deep and strong with notes of bread, sweet malt and toffee. The finish and aftertaste was very sweet and malty. I can’t say this is one of the better bock beers I’ve tasted, but it isn’t the worst. It isn’t something to write home about, that’s for sure. Pretty average.

on Tap, poured a medium brown clear hue with a barley recogonizable white head. A nice caramel and bread malt notes on the aroma. Sweet flavor cloying notes throughout. Warming alcohol finish.

Bottle, part of a cheap ass mixes 6er. I had no idea this beer was strong until right now. It’s overly malty, very sweet and roasty. Not delicious, but damn it went down smooth and i didn’t notice the strength.

Bottle. Pours a deep copper body with thin head. Aroma is nutty, musty, caramel. Flavor is bitter sweet, nutty, caramel and light cereal grains. Mouthfeel is a little off at times.
