Commercial Description:
German Doppel Bock style of exceptional quality, flavors and body. The Navigator is CABC’s winter-seasonal offering. With a toasty biscuit flavor, it’s unlike any beer you’ve had while managing to stay strictly within style. Slightly sweet to offset the higher alcohol content, it’s a grand version of a classic German Doppel-Bock. This beer is a differing take on the average winter seasonal take and we think you’ll thank us for it.

This years Doppelbock style lager has no spices as it did last year but offers a spectacular mouthful of flavor. EXCEPTIONAL!! Ready Nov 1st

Pours bright mahogany into a stem glass. Off-white micro head with excellent retention recedes to coat surface. Raisin and molasses aromas. Light bodied and malty with sweet caramel upfront and a slight bitter finish.

The Navigator is deep red in color and cloudy. Bottled versions may not be cloudy, but all of their drafts are unfiltered. The aroma is mostly of malts and hops. The beer hits you with rich chocolate and cinnamon flavors at first but then the hops take over for a slightly bitter aftertaste. Alcohol isn’t overtly present. With the medium body, the beer goes down smooth and doesn’t overload on the carbonation. This is a fine beer if you can find it.

Draught at Jacob Wirth’s. Pours dark with a tan head. Much of the same nutty, roasty character that you expect from a bock, problem being there’s little body here. It’s a rather unsatisfying, almost watery beer.

Poured light tan/yellow and had a large head. It had some nice notes of molasses and caramel and then pushed into a well balanced earthy and sweet (think fruit) flavors with a firm finish.
