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!

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!

Bottle. Clear dark burgundy with a moderate head dissapating to a thin film with decent lacing. Aroma is toasty malt, caramel, and some fruit. Not a strong aroma but complex and interesting. Flavor is sweet with a mild bitterness towards the end and some fruit notes. Smooth, medium bodied, very drinkable.

12 oz bottle; Easy drinkin’, baby. I must say I find it impossible to believe it’s almost 8 percent. Tremendous aroma with many components. Dark brown color, clear, leaving a small light tan head. Somewhat sweet and malty taste. Medium to light in body, leaving a pleasant aftertaste.

Bottle, gift from Phlicker. Pours almost opaque Coke-brown, with a light head. Aroma is light, malt and fruit (plum, raisin, date). Taste is basically the same. Too light for a doppel, IMO, but still decent. Worth trying if you’re in the area.

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.

Transfering tasting notes. Bottle. Very dark pour with an off white head. Nice roasted flavor with some hops lingering. Very smooth and enjoyable
