Capital Blonde Doppelbock

Brewed by Capital Brewery
Style: Doppelbock
Middleton, Wisconsin USA

Appearance: bright and transparent reddish hue, with a big, fresh, fluffy head. Aroma is sweet, a bit fruity, and fierce: alcohol, though not major, is still sitting tall on top and evident in the nose. Taste: BAM! Shammalamma, boom! Sh-bam! Tiny hops, Big, muth*&^%in’ malt all up in y’alls mouth! Mouth-filling texture, though overall the body is light. It’s just that big, fat flavor, tasty, lip-smackin’, delicious. Big, wonderful flavor stands out always, rings through the senses, congratulates you for consuming it. If you’re craving a beer from Wisconsin, this had better be the one. We’ll be screening any excuses for other options, but it’s a strict judge and jury. Really, this is the stuff!

bottle, poured honey golden with a tropical fruit aroma, flavor is thick fruity, mango, papaya, kiwi, some medium bitterness but not offensive, no alcohol presence, floral fruity finish

Amber color with quickly dissapating little bubbles but no real head. Nose of malt extract syrup and alcohol. Very malty flavors with burnt caramel and almost maple syrup sweetness. Very soft mouthfeel. Tastey beer but not for every day.

12 oz bottle. Deep dark brown in color with a big fluffy tan head. Nice grainy cereal aroma. Hoppy and malty flavor. Thin bodied. Finish is bland. ok beer.

Pours with an attractive rocky, dense, and creamy foam with great cling and stay. Looks like an English IPA, with its light amber hue. The aroma is surprisingly hoppy, which exudes pepper and a light fruitiness. Exhibits the mark of some Triples with its phenolic notes, as well. Mouthfeel is moderately full. Alcoholic fullness quickly comes into play before a long dry, yeast, and malt finish. Slightly cloying, which takes away points.

12 oz bottle. Pleasant yeasty aroma, diminutively volatile to the nose once in the glass. Slightly darker than pale yellow with no visible CO2. Good fizz on the palate however. Taste is rather medicinal in nature, orange alky @ times. Finish is medium lingering bite. Certainly is 8%.

Thanks to ughsmash for this one! Creamy head of off-white over a medium yellow/amber body. Light bready malt aroma with just a touch of hops. Smooth, easy drinking. Could be a bit more robust to get a higher rating from me.

Some sweetness in the malty aroma. Brilliant clear golden amber color. Some carbonation is there, but head is a mere ring around the edge of the glass. This is what I would term a doppel-maibock. The light, almost corn-syrup sweetness of the malt is blended toward the end of the profile with some green-tasting hops. Finish has some effervescence and more sweetness. Caramel and Cara-Pils malts extremely evident here. Lots of unfermented sugars. All in all, not a bad brew, a little bit different. Better than the Weizenbock, definitely. Style fits the season which it is released in.
