Water Street Doppelbock

On tap at Water Street Brewery in Milwaukee. Clear brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of light fruit, caramel, light hops and soap. Taste of caramel, fruit, nuts, sweet malt and light fruity hops. Body is over carbonated and syrupy.

Pours a dark brown body with a medium sized tan head. nice retention in the head. A very smooth beer with plenty of chocolate and nutty flavor. Light roasted malts and cinnamon on the nose.

On draught at the brewery/brewpub in Delafield, Wisconsin. Pours a clear copper amber brew with a creamy off-white head that slowly dissipates to a fine film and off-white ring. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, some flowery and citrus hops, a touch of dark berries, and some soy sauce. Taste is medium to full bodied, light carbonation with flavors of raisined caramel malt, some tart berries, flowery hops and a touch of toffee. Finish slightly metallic from the high alcohol with a sweet raisin-like caramel aftertaste.

a light brown color w/ a small tan head. Carmel and syrup in the aroma, overly sweet, palate was pretty avg. Flavor was ok for a water street brew, but nothing special, mostly sweet carmel & syrup, a touch of toasty nearly nutty flavor... not much else.

I thought that this was an excellent effort. It did not have as much legs as most doppelbocks but it did have a playful side to the palate.
