Commercial Description:
Dopplebock started out as a Lenten beer for the monks in Germany. During Lent they would forgo solid food and get all their sustenance from beer. Needless to say it was big beer with lots of unfermented dextrins. Once the public got a taste it became very popular. We call our beer Mediator because we think that a 22 ounce bottle is probably better shored than drunk alone. It’s rich and malty, with a few plum notes on the palate and the slightest roasted character in the finish. I think this would go really well with a number of cheeses. Availability of this beer is very limited - less than 50 cases bottled. (1.024 BG, 7.00%, 40 IBU, 19 SRM) Available only at the Brewery, Belmont Station, Market of Choice Terwilliger, and New Seasons Cedar Hills Crossing and Sellwood.

Bomber. Dark amber/copper body with a tan short-lived head. Aroma of malty caramel, cinnamon, toasted grain, chocolate and an off smell of dirty feet. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly bitter. The early sweetness conveys a flavor of caramel with a hint of dark fruit. Some roasted malt taste follows along with the funkiness that showed up in the aroma. Medium body, smooth to watery texture, lively carbonation. This had lots going for it, but hard to get past the odd aroma and flavor as slight as that may have been.
