This past December, with the new 2013 MBC release schedule looming, we were facing a number of challenges. One of them was how do we develop new brands for future brewing seasons and get real time feedback from our customers. We were also trying to develop beers that age well in oak Bourbon barrels. Lastly, we really wanted to make a tasty Bock Beer for the Spring Bock season. Brewer Brian Blazel took on this task with a passion and the end results show it. Our Doppelvision Doppelbock is a sweet malt forward lager, with subtle hints of vanilla, coconut, and bourbon from its 1 month of maturation in Bourbon barrels. Ten varieties of malt come together to produce a smooth drinkable beer with notes of coffee, toffee, and caramel. Noble German hops help balance the malt character with a hint of spice.
