Thanks Mike.
This was poured into a lager glass.
The appearance was a nice looking fairly dark red to brown color with a finger’s worth of sustaining white foamy head. Gently dissipated to leave some sly messy lace.
The aroma had some earthy sweet to spicy tones, light caramel, dried dark fruits, caramel/toffee malt base, and ended with a little bit of tobacco.
The flavor was moderately sweet yet balancing in a touch of spice ever so lightly as it warmed. Nicely blended aftertaste which ended up getting a little bit of dark bread in it. Finished with the dark bread and a little bit of spice.
The palate was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Good carbonation and the ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, pretty nice doppelbock, not a style I get to enjoy a lot of and not a brewery I get to see, kind of a really rare gem for me all around.
