Indikator is a deep mahogany colored Doppelbock lagered in our American oak foeder. Aromas of dark fruit, candied plums and deep caramel presage flavors of lightly roasted, complex malts and cherries. Balanced notes of oak, vanilla and toasted coconut from Indikator’s slumber in our foeder also touch the palate, contributing to our love of this very special Bavarian-inspired delicacy. Dark fruit and smooth malt complexity linger at the end, with a light warming alcohol presence at the finish. Limited release.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to tall tulip.
Appearance: dark amber color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: dark fruity tones with sweet oak, some sweet almost sugary nuts, light notes of some pomme fruits, then a little bit of caramel and vanilla, sly chocolatey notes at the end
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet dark fruity to a sweet apple-y to caramel/vanilla quality; finishes slightly sticky with a little bit of sweet boozy warmth
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; superb smoothness along the tongue as that stickiness noted in the finish doesn't seem to show up here
Overall: yeah, this is quite a very good Doppelbock I'm sure to have again.

Canned 1/9/23, drunk 4/8/23. Clear, deep amber-mahogany. Large, beige head shows moderate retention. Light melanoidin-like fruitiness and tartness with rich sourdough, raisin, prune, vanilla, caramel and a touch of very light oak. Clean, no alcohol or flaw noted. Soft, malty, well-attenuated, crisp on the end with interesting raisin and prune-like fruitiness. Chocolatey, but not overly so. Light oak in both texture and flavor. No alcohol or flaw.

16 oz can. Aroma is molasses, nuts, soft chocolate. Flavor is rich with melted caramel, dark bread, mild molasses, and very soft oak. Mild toasted grain. For a bock lager the body is medium plus. The amount of flavor in this lager is incredible. Awesome.

Pours deep mahogany tinged copper into a stem glass. Mocha head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Dark caramel, pit fruit and brown bread aromas. Soft with hot molasses, raisins, toasted brown bread and sweet dark, dried pit fruit upfront turning to earthy, dried oak in the medium length finish.

16oz can pours a cola brown with a cap of off weight head. Nose is nutty, malty, bread, toast, a little bit of earthy character. Flavor is malt, dried fruit comes in now, big grain without being overly sweet. The oak is there but its real earthy and pleasant. Full bodied, enveloping finish. Drinks big but not heavy. 7 4 8 4 14
