Ballast Point’s Brewing and Spirits Navigator Doppelbock is inspired by the strong German dark lagers and bock’s. Briess Extra Special malt helps create the source of the flavors that dominate the aroma and taste buds in Navigator. You are able to enjoy forward flavors of caramelized malt sugars and dried fruits, such as raisins, apricots and prunes. This strong lager is a big malt-driven beer that truly deserves the nickname “liquid bread.”

On tap at Stone. Pours with a creamy tan head over a hazed brown body that leaves good lace. Aroma of banana, chocolate, smoke, tobacco, and grain. Taste is smokey, with toffee, chocolate and a rich, creamy alcohol decadence. Something that reminds me of oatmeal-raisin cookies. Creamy and thick mouthfeel. Warming for 8%, but that is on an empty stomach.

On Tap at Ballast’s 10th Anniv. Tan head with dark amber color. Has a semi sweet roasted malt aroma. Sweet malt flavor mixed with a slight hop bite and some pale malts to even things out.
