Description
On St. Patrick’s Day 2007, Double Mountain Brewery & Taproom was unveiled to a thirsty public. Double Mountain was founded by Matt Swihart and Charlie Devereaux with a clear mission: make great beer for craft beer fans! Ours is a “brewers’ brewery”, with an uncompromising focus on beer quality. From the beginning, our goal was to make beers that we liked to drink. All of our beers are served up unfiltered and long-aged, to deliver maximum flavor and character. The beers can be very complex and assertive, but with the ultimate goal of proper balance. We aim to satisfy both the hardcore aficionados and the more casual craft beer fan, all in the same glass.

Gorgeous dark reddish-brown colour. Chewy caramel-toffee malts on the nose. Caramel to the fore, with plums and brown sugar through the middle. Hops appear as a hint of dryness (45 IBUs).

Murky chestnut. Not much aroma - vague nuts and grain. Toffee chewiness overtop of nuttiness with a grainy, slightly astringent finish.

Pale yellow, opaque. Light fruitiness in the nose with subtle pale malts. Rather harsh graininess, plus the dull, clunky Perle hops (should really have used a nobler variety) plus all the yeast (which lends a footiness) makes this not only a poor kolsch but an ineffective beer overall. Wish I had what Belmont was pouring!
