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 a transparent copper amber with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet doughy caramel malts and a touch of light fruit. Starts fairly full and sweet with some light carbonation and some mild bittering hop presence before a thinner, weaker finish. Could use more body and complexity, but still has good drinkability.

Tap at Barcade. Deep amber/orange colour with a creamy white head. Aroma is quite sweet and earthy, a dusty/dank sweaty aroma that isn’t entirely unpleasant. Warming brings forth some diacetyl which IS decidedly unpleasant. Mixed with the dark sweet malts it gives the impressio of butterscotch ripple ice cream, which just isn’t what I’m in the mood for. Some dark toasted malt flavour as well as some noble hop spiciness but it just has too many flaws to recommend.

Pours deep copper toward brown with creamy, off-white head. Nose is caramel malt, toffee, hops, nuts. Tastes malty, with nuts, hops, slight spicy and peaty notes, and a rich smooth, complex palate. Give me this any time.
