Capital Autumnal Fire

Brewed by Capital Brewery
Style: Doppelbock
Middleton, Wisconsin USA

Bottle poured a dark redish orange with a strong white head and heavy lacing. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a big sweet fruity flavor. caramel, sweet candy, thick body. Sweet warming finish.

Thanks to my UP roommate for this one. Too bad we can’t get this in Michigan -- it’s really good. I was expecting an Oktoberfest, but got a barleywine/doppelbock instead, which was a pleasant surprise. Sweet, lots of hops and malt taste, good body to it. One of the best beers I’ve had in a while.

Thanks to Jeff for this one. Pours out a very nice copper/amber color with not much of a head. Sweet aroma of some fruit and maybe some bread. Taste is very nice, not what I’d expect from a dopplebock, but none the less this was a very solid drinkable beer. Sweet fruit notes with some caramel. Solid brew

Color is amber. I can smell fruit, malt and nut bread. Almost like banana nut bread. Tastes a little like it but with malts and a moderate alcohol bitterness at the end.

Bottle. Aroma warm and sweet, caramel malts leading the way. Pour was a darkened amber with a thin cap. Flavor was yummy, biscuity caramel and fruity taste. Palate was creamy and full. Overall very tasty.

Picked up on a whim, when I read on the bottle that it was based on an Oktoberfest brew. I actually ended up liking it more than most Oktoberfests; it’s smooth, flavorful, and had a very appreciable aftertaste.

This beer produces a nice hearty aroma of roasted malt. It is an amber colored solution that rests under a thick cream colored head. This thin beer has a mild biscuit taste that fades smoothly and slowly.

Wow what a beer. Found at Discount Liquor in Milwaukee, my old reliable friend. Very rich, warm flavor as its name would indicate, it finishes large and didnt let me down, even after the hype given to it by friends.
