Composed of a grist build of 100% local grains from our friends at Riverbend Malt House of Asheville, we journeyed far into lager land. Utilizing the hot rocks to boil the wort, we achieved a mind-bending amount of caramelization and color.
Inspired by the gloriously malty dopplebock, this steinbock will ferment cool and condition cold for a long time. Precisely the way lagers are intended!

12 ounce can from Tavour. Beautiful copper red pour. Smallish bubbly tan head dissipates to a small ring. Sweet, toasty, caramel malt aroma. Some booziness as well. Flavor upfront is sweet caramel, toasted nuts, baked apples, baked bread. Sweet liquor. Wonderfully represented of the style. My first steinbier in some time.

Draft at Fonta Flora. Pours a clear copper with a small beige head that dissipates. Lovely smoked note with toasted toffee and caramel aromas. Palate is similar, light peppery notes on the finish to balance things out. Slightly boozy, but nice stuff.

Can from Cloudwater online shop. Clear amber body with a thin head that fades. Steady carbonation. No lacing. Aroma of toffee, treacle and plum. Flavour of black pepper, caramel and red apple. Medium body with a slick texture. Soft fizz. This is tasty. It’s sweet but, despite the strength, it lacks the depth and complexity of the best Doppelbocks I’ve tasted.

Can from Cloudwater. Sweet caramel and dark chocolate aroma with a yoghurt streak. Opaque light chestnut. Frothy beige head is impressive at first before quickly fleeing. Medium sweet but tempered by a sour edge. Burnt caramel and nuts. Lingering bitternes into the finish but a fruity sourness remains. Medium bodied. Slick. A tad creamy. Flat carbonation. Long astringent finish. Enjoyable enough but too sweet to be sessionable. ABV is not obvious.

Keg at 73 Enid Street, 09/10/19. Golden amber with a decent off white head that stays for the show. Nose is malt forward, dried fruits, light booze tunes, breads. Taste comprises malt loaf, breads, mellow fruit eaters, straw, grains, light cereals. Medium bodied, fine massaging carbonation with a creamy feel and a good kiss of booze. Decent lager bier.

Light caramel. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Malty and some sweetness with a long finish.
