Commercial Description:
From the tradition started by the monks of St. Francis of Paula in 1634 comes this warming beer of rich heritage. A dark, rich lager of sublime complexity and character, St. Victorious is created from multiple German malts. Laborious decoction mashing yields the choicest elements of the malt. Long, cold aging mellows the strong temperament of this subtle beer. Celebrate the end of winter with a warming draft of St. Victorious Doppelbock!

St. Victorious is a classic German dopplebock, brewed with imported German malts, hops, and coming in at a warming 8.5% abv. This beer is brewed using tradition brewing methods such as decoction, where a portion of the mash is removed to another vessel and heated to a higher temperature, then re-introduced to the mash. It is then cold lagered for three months, making this such a round, polished, clean beer. St. Victorious pours to a beautiful, bright, deep chestnut color with a slight tan head that fades, and a moderate to soft amount of carbonation. The nose on this beer is a mash tun in a glass. Deep sweet malty, toasty, and peppery aromas of alcohol flood the nose. The palate on this beer is full and slick on the tongue with tremendous malty flavors. Sweet malt, light toast, and dark nutty flavors fill the mouth and slide down the throat. This beer is just so round, clean, and polished, you would never believe the beer you are drinking has such strength, so be careful! St. Victorious ends with more of those wonderful malty flavors, then in balanced with just enough grassy hop bitterness, so this beer is not too cloying.

This was a great beer that poured a similar color to both Salvator and Troegenator. The taste was malty and somewhat dry and just a wonderful overall beer.

If theres something better than a bock, its a double bock. Big robust malty nose and a hop floral undertone and a big belly warming ABV. Quite strong and not meant for the average beer drinker. Need to by a batch and store.

Deep red color and thin. Sweet syrupy aroma. Interestingly mellow 'til the finish when it takes on a vaguely mediciney appeal, but in a pleasant way. Damn good!
