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!

Draft->English pint: Pours an average, light brown, creamy head with spare lacing atop of a clear brown body. Aroma is lightly malt and caramel, also with a light yeast aroma. The body is medium, creamy on the palate, and is slightly astringent with an average taste duration and lightly bitter finish. Not sure why I wasn’t so impressed with this beer--perhaps a re-taste is in the future (maybe they were @ the end of the keg)....It was late Sunday night when I tried this brew.

Tap at Blind Tiger. Deep brown-amber beer. Aroma is quite subtle, toasted lean malts with some light plummy fruit. Sweet and toasty with a kiss of caramelly mlats. Lighty chewy, sweet and a little bit fruity. Bready but there is a bit of light berryish fruit. A bit of lingering sweetness with a pronounced raspberry fruitiness. It is good, but it ain’t no dopplebock.

Aroma of roasted sweet honey hops. Pour is dark with a beige head. Taste is very roasty with a sweet undertaste and the presence of flowery hops. The carbonation is not too overwhelming which leaves room for the taste. Finishes very smooth.
