A traditional Doppelbock fermented with an old world yeast. Reddish brown in color with a mild hop profile, Consecrator is a well-balanced, full-bodied lager with hints of caramel and molasses in its smooth, malty finish after spending 3 months maturing in our fermentation tanks.

Big malty beast, full of caramel and toffee with underlying dark fruit notes of fig and candied date, mild red delicious esters popping up towards the back end to balance out the slightest bit of floral hop bitterness. Pretty good as far as American doppelbocks go, yet on the sweet side, lacking the German minerality that offsets the sugars of traditional brews. Caramel-slathered toast for the aroma, but the pour's a bit lifeless, coming out a reddish brown with a brief off-white head and no lace. Feel comes across a tad slack and watery, yet the alcohol's well-hidden, at least. Decent.

Very nice malt base with plenty of bread, caramel & dried dark fruits. Sweet, tiny bitter, malty & light floral/herbal. Bit sweet perhaps...

12 ounce bottle. Copper colored pour with a large rocky beige head. Aroma is toasted caramel malt with notes of apple pie. Flavor is sweet toasted malt upfront. Obvious caramel and baked apple notes. Smooth and flavorful, with boozy notes in middle. Buttery malty finish is rich and satisfying. Quite faithful to the German Dppelbock style.
