The Duck-Rabbator Dopplebock is a powerfully malty German-style lager. The malty/grainy flavors so dominate this beer, it’s like a whole loaf of bread in every glass! Is it a beverage or is it a meal? It’s both.

Sampled on draft at Zeno’s in State College this beer poured a dark red-brown color with a large foamy tan head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was faintly malty and did not have anything else going on. The flavor was faintly malty with a hint of dark fruit. Medium finish. Medium body. Surprisingly bland.

A dark brown Bock with a thin mocha head. In aroma, sweet caramel malt with dark fruits, vinous character, pleasant. In mouth, a sweet fruity caramel malt with dark fruits, molasses, alcohol warmth, nice. On tap at Thirsty Monk.

12 oz. bottle thanks to queenholly. This bottle has sat a few months and hasn’t hurt it what so ever. Dark mahogany color with thick lasting head retention in a dimpled mug. Aroma start with yeast then transition into sweet malt and molasses.
Flavor is a near reflection of the aroma. Dark roasted grain, molasses, dark toasted crackers. Dark bready notes. Almost like pumpernickel. Chocolate malt is also shows up. The body is medium leaning on thick with a nice creamy texture.
Overall the drinkability is really high and a nice American version of a classic German style. I enjoyed drinking this. This is worth a buy or trade if you enjoy German lagers.

12 ounce bottle thanks to Dan. Pours a clear mahogany color with a medium tan head. A sweet toffee and cocoa nose, some tobacco. The flavor is molasses, caramel, toasted malt, sweet but not overly so. Baked gingerbread. Nutty. Quite good. A near perfect winter lager. I still have lots of love for DR, one of the first breweries I really liked.

12 ounce bottle. Cloudy mahogany brown color topped by a finger high creamy tan head. Rich malty cocoa aroma. Sweet roasted malt flavor upfront with notes of milk chocolate, caramel and toasted nuts. There is an underlying spicy hop prescience that picks up in the mid taste and follows into the finish. Somewhat reminiscent of the classic Bavarian doppelbocks with that cloying chewy mouthfeel you expect of the style. Overall, a very tasty brew.

Sample at the Decatur Craft Beer Fest. Pours dark brown, with a medium, tan head. The aroma is chocolate, molasses, talc, and some earthy hops. The flavor is very sweet, with just a light bitterness. Heavy body, sticky, and syrupy. Overall, this is a mediocre dopplebock, lacking complex flavor or depth.
