Double DEBOCKel is brewed in the style of the traditional German doppelbock but with our original Sierra Nevada spin. At the start, our Double DeBOCKel is roasty and malty; it has a rich caramel character, a light bready flavor and mild, pleasant sweetness. It has silky-smoothness resulting from along aging period at near freezing temperatures, and hides its hearty strength with modesty.
Double De BOCKel is a boisterous beer that finishes clean; and in true Sierra Nevada fashion the use of a healthy dose of hops leaves the beer surprisingly dry, with nothing but a full-body warmth and a faint malty memory left behind

Had some on draft at the Pony Bar in NYC. Good beer this. Pours a copper-red with a fine white head. Nice malty aroma with earthy notes. Flavor is crisp with notes of caramel and a nice malt backbone. Finishes clean and slightly warming from the ABV.

Tap @ Pacific Standard, served in a tulip glass. The color is clear copper. Aroma is overly clean and comes off as an empty lagered brew. Taste is a lightly earthy lager yeastiness with just a hint of bitterness. It very easy drinking but lacks anything to separate it. I was surprised it is this strong but it makes sense because it seems like they fermented all the sweetness out but unfortunately there weren’t too many other interesting parts to it.

Tap at Barcade - clear copper beer - this beer is all booze - the aroma is alcoholic, floral and sweet - thin-bodied for such a strong beer, and as a result, the alcohol shows even more - boozy, barleywine-like character, but without the complexity to back it up - fairly strong hoppiness, typical of this brewer, but it does nothing to help it - finish of hops, sugar, vodka - this is a mess.

Served on draft at Tyler’s Taproom in Durham. Lighter color than expected. Golden amber with nearly no head. Aroma is roasted malts and spicy hops. Resiny hops in the taste with wheat and banana notes. Full bodied.

Tap @ TFD: Clear copper pour with a large beige head. Nice lacing. Mild malty and sweet aroma, pretty dainty. Tastes malty with caramel and a bit of dark fruit. A little hoppy zing in the tail.

Bright golden-amber colour. Toasty, deep earthy caramel nose. Rich bitterness. Toasty, lots of flavour, late alcohol. But it’s really messy, not bocky. Like the name I supposed but why would I want to drink that?
