Commercial Description:
The Liberator is a deep amber to dark brown colored beer with a rich and complex malty flavor. It has a touch of roast character and no hop flavor. Hop bitterness is generally only high enough to balance the malt flavors to allow moderate sweetness in the finish. This is a Bavarian specialty that is most closely associated with serving in the Winter and Spring Seasons.

Picked up a single 22-oz bomber at Bottleworks in Seattle, WA. Pours a clear reddish copper brew with a creamy off-white that quickly dissipates and leaves behind some spotty lacing. Aroma of citrus and fruity character, a hint of caramel malt, some roasted nuts and toffee. Taste is medium to full bodied, with more flavors of roasted nuts, caramel, a hint of toffee and some yeast. Finish is slightly metallic slightly dry along with aftertastes of caramel, and roasted nuts.

Brown-red with a lathered head. Weird aroma, perhaps antiseptic? Heavy maltiness, but very compact flavors that don’t really unwind. Not sure what this is trying to be.

12/6/08 On draft at the Winter Brewfest, Seattle, Wa. Aroma is soft, with sweet roast but no classic Doppelbock sourness. Appearance is dark brown with a moderate maintained cream colored head. Flavor is roast malt forward with light bittering and fruity sweetness. Overall, the lack of the slight classic sourness actually helps this brew so well.

Dark brown, nutty and bready aroma, brown sugary malt palate, nutty, bread-crusty, medium bodied. A simple little doppelbock, but likeable nonetheless.

This would be a good everyday take on this style if you were into drinking DBs everyday. Very mellow, with great balance, has a slight bit of roastiness, some dark wheat grainness, but imperceptible yeastiness. Creamy mouthfeel. Decent
