Brewed as our annual collaboration with Lupulin Brewing, this Doppelsticke Altbier was brewed with Pilsner, Munich, Caramel and roasted malts for a deep red hue. A double decoction mash was employed to deepen the malt character even further. Hopped aggressively with magnum, tettnang, saaz and strisselspalt hops for ample spicy/herbal bitterness. Fermented with Kolsch yeast and krausened with Klosterade wort for even more added complexity and natural carbonation. The result is a big rich and spicy Altbier.

Their description as a German Barleywine suits it better than a Sticke Alt. Big, rich malt tone, serious hop balance as well. Lacks that German finesse, sort of more I line with an American Strong Ale. A good one. Unique, 100% must try for anyone who would ever read this.
