Against the Grain Dilator

Against the Grain Brewery
Louisville, Kentucky
Beer style: Bock - Doppelbock
Ref: ratebeer.com May2024

Common descriptors are
Oak aged Dopplebock.
This dopplebock is brewed with high quality Munich and Pilsner malts balanced with Hallertau and Saaz, and fermented with a lager yeast. Dopplebocks are traditionally relatively dark and malty German lagers and sometimes are denoted with the “ator” suffix. While this is a great dopplebock, we at AtG weren’t satisfied until we shoved some wood in it. The addition of oak gives this beer subtle flavors of toffee, chocolate and coconut, while providing some dryness to balance this beers malty sweetness.
