Commercial Description:
In German, Munich is "Munchen", or "place of the monks." While Belgium is now better known for monastic brewing, many of Germany's great breweries have monastic origins. During the forty days of Lent leading up to Easter, the monks fasted, allowing themselves no solid food. They developed doppelbock, a beer style solid enough to get them through their fasting period. Names for German doppelbocks always use the suffix "-ator", so we've followed suit. Brooklynator Doppelbock is brewed in the classic style, often referred to as "liquid bread." It's brewed from 100% German malts and hops and fermented cold with a Bavarian lager yeast. It has a bready, toffee-like aroma, crisp, moderate bitterness, a silky slightly sweet center and a long bready finish. The monks fasted, but you don't have to. Brooklynator Doppelbock is great with pork dishes, venison, duck, sausages, earthy beans, mushrooms, and full-flavored cheeses.

Poured a reddish-brown color with a beige head. The aroma and flavor were fairly fruity and moderately sweet. Figs, Plums, and caramel dominate. Medium bodied with a smooth feel. Very drinkable.

Draught. Pours a deep dark ruby reddish color with a thin white head. Aroma is very thick with tons of dark caramelized german malts- lots of sharp dark munich, with some fruitiness as well- figs, raisin, and other dried fruits. Good clean malt profile, doesnt have that big toasted bready malt profile, but rather goes a bit darker and is more caramelized nd sharp malts, with some leather, earth and wierd astringency at the end. Pretty good overall, yet different from many traditional german doppelbocks.

Sampled on tap at Great Lost Bear. Pours a clear brown color with a ring of light brown lace. Aroma of fruits and malt, there’s also a little something weird and unpleasant. Flavor of fruits, chocolate and malt. The body is light with an oily texture and moderate carbonation.

Growler. Deep mahogony, clear, decent head and lace. Dark, bready, malty nose, hint of caramel and spice. Medium bodied at best, smooth malty flavors, sweet and bready, nice spicy, dry hoppy bite at the end. Well constructed brew, a bit subdued, could have more richness but not a bad gal to spend the night with, hell you might even stick around for breakfast....

Rating 700 Dark brown pour minimal head. Fruity aroma(possibly cherry?). Chocolate, and malts up front. Sweet caramel malty finish
