Extremely rich and malty German-style lager, so intense that it’s named after our founder! Karminator Doppelbock has a traditional double-bock flavor, brewed with an over-abundance of the absolute highest quality imported Munich malt to create an irresistible toasted barley flavor, with hints of caramel & toffee. Alot of care, time, and know-how has gone into creating this complex, memorable, and majestic lager.

Bottle purchased at One Stop Market, Haverhill. Deep garnet brown color, no head. Aroma is molasses, raisins, prunes.

Flavor is a copy of the aroma.This is pretty much spot on a German example with a higher elevated alcohol level. Fuller body with a sticky texture over the palate. Of course this is sweet, such is the style. I think this very well crafted.

(Draught at Delirium Hoppy Loft, Brussels, 14 Oct 2015) Dark brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, raisins, prunes and dark bread. Malty, roasted taste with dried fruit, raisins, prunes, caramel and a slightly vinous finish with a balanced spicy bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Potent and warming, but still in good balance and really tasty. Very nice.
