Shmaltz Bock Bock has spent months in a blend of bourbon barrels, including Jim Beam, Heaven Hill, and Buffalo Trace.
“Barrel-aged Bock Bock gains its toasty, rich malt body and nutty caramel flavor from distinctive European malts, such as Vienna, Munich and Crystal, to make a traditional bock base,” said Shmaltz Brewing Company’s Lead Brewer Richie Saunders.

Bottle. Slightly cloudy, reddish- brown with a very small head. The aroma has a very distinct whiskey barrel smell with hints of malty sweetness. Taste is sweet up front with a tangy bourbon barrel finish. Really nice.

Draft at Slaters. Dark brown pour. Delicious aroma of bourbon vanilla, riasin and caramelised malt. Taste has thick sweet vanilla, raisin, caramelised malt, booze, ripe red fruit and a long finish. Sorry Germans, the jews have brewed the best doppelbock I ever had

650 ml Bottle purchased at One Stop Market, Haverhill, MA. Paid $9.95. Deep brown/ red color with low carbonation level. Aroma is molasses, caramel and very mild whiskey hints. Flavor is very sweet with just a light barrel treatment for minor balance.
Texture is syrupy, sweet and damn near cloying. Very low carbonation. Overall is not awful but the bourbon treatment is weak and doesn’t help cut the sweetness very much. Also, no bottle coding marked anyplace. I have no idea how long it sat on the shelf. Not bad but not what I was hoping for.

Pours deep mahogany into a shaker. Off white head with medium retention recedes to hug rim. Dark caramel and bourbon aromas. Sweet bourbon and oak upfront turning to tart cherry before the lasting, dry earth finish.

Bottle. Mahogany beer with a dark cream head. Bourbon aroma. Dark fruit and bourbon flavor with light caramel and light sourness. Medium-plus bodied. Dark fruit and red fruit lingers with bourbon, light caramel, light tartness, light sourness, and light spice.

Bottle from Legacy Liquor, Vancouver
Dark amber color, with small head. Some aroma of nuts and vanilla (the barrel), but also something that will soon become an infection. Good body strength; it has malt flavor, and lingering red wine sourness, unexpected; moderately sweet; if this a Doppelbock, the character is totally lost; it’s a decent beer, but probably infected and really not deserving the high price tag (~16$ in BC).
