Fort Collins Dopplebock

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. The smell is fruits, pinepple, hawaiian pizza, and sweet. The look is clear, reddish in color, with a beige colored head. The taste is sweet, malts, fruits, and ok.

( 22oz bomber thanks to bu11zeye) Pours clear chocolate brown, off-white bubbles. Nose is salty like ham. Taste is creamy, chocoate, and sweet grains. Nice carbonation and a good finish.

Dark amber with a ring of cream head. caramel, malts and not much else except a hint of smoke on the nose. Decent on the palate with a caramel flavor and light smoke in the finish.

Pours a deep dark copper/chestnut brown with dark burgundy/ruby edges when held to a light source and a fizzy beige foam head that quickly fizzles away into a thin ring. Very nice smokey aroma with hints of sweet caramel malt, chocolate, banana, clove, yeast/bread, charcoal and bacon. The smokiness if very prominent, which is always welcome, but doesn’t overpower other aromas. Smooth, rich creamy mouthfeel with a decent amount of smokiness and sweet caramel malt. There is a nice amount of spicy cloves and dark fruit notes which shine thorugh on top of the charcoal, BBQ smokiness. Hints of dark cheery, plum, raisin and fig. Sweet caramel malt accompanied by spiciness and subtle smoky flavors that are more prominent in the finish. Subtle sweet alcohol presence and slight warmth in the dry smokey finish. The high ABV is very well masked, however, making this a very drinkable beer. Based on the aroma, I was expecting this beer to be much more smokey, but it was very well balanced with a lot of dark fruit, bready yeast, clove and banana notes.

( 22oz bottle ) Pours a clear amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of smoked beef jerky, pepper, caramel, and some smoked gouda. Flavor of caramel, smoke, and roasted malt.
