Left Hand Smoked Goosinator Doppelbock

Brewed by Left Hand Brewing Co.
Style: Smoked
Longmont, Colorado USA

Bottled. Slightly hazy and deep golden coloured with a medium sized head. Quite well balanced with notes of caramel, bread, citrus, hay and also has a hint of smoke. Very nice.

Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of cereal, roasted and nutty, light herbs and earth for the hops and yeast, and very light notes of date, red wine, smoke and wood. Head is fizzy, white with no lacing and is fully diminishing. the first pour is clear burgandy, then clouds up a bit on the following pours. Flavor starts lightly sweet and acidic then finishes lightly acidic and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, watery and has a fizzy carbonation. A decent beer, it just didn’t have the depth of flavor and aroma I expected.

This poured a brownish color with a small tan head.The nose was smoky, malty, and bacony.Yum! This was close to having bacon beer in a glass.Lots of smoke up front with some malts and bacon, smokiness to finish it off.

Bottled, 0.7 liter. Brown coloured, firm head. Strong smoky nose, malts, really nice. Flavour is somewhat disappointing though, malts, some smoke, but not a whole lot more. Relatively thin mouthfeel. I’ll stick to the German stuff.

Aroma – Big aroma lots of malts and the smokey aroma was lingering quite nice.
Appearance – Brown in color, light head clear.
Flavor – Smoked malts was the flavor. Huge malt flavor with very little backing this beer up. Some hops and fruitiness to follow.
Palate – Nice Mouthfeel, Very good texture with a good dry finish.
Overall – This was a nice beer. I was expecting this to have more of a Smokey flavor. Was a tad disappointed and also amazed at this big beer. Too much cost for this beer.

Pours like an old copper penny w/ a tall lasting head and finally a full fluffy ring. Smoky aromas prevail like an August desert wind. Full nectar w/ superb carbonation. This is a malt bomb as expected w/ a defined sweetness. The mild smoky character lends some depth. I’m getting some jerky, alot of stonefruit like nectarines, and a little hickory. The finish lingers smoky and sweet like a good ham.

Bottle. Brown color with a beige head. Aroma and taste is sweet and malty with notes of caramel, roasted malt, tobacco, alcohol and a hint of smoked meat.

Bottle - corked and caged. Murky copperish brown pour. Nose is smoked malts, smoked sausage, caramel, and sweet malts. Taste is meaty and malty with smoked malts, smoked meat notes, strong caramel, light spicy notes and light hops notes. Body is creamy, soft and smooth. Soft carbonation throughout, Finishes with more smoked malt and smoked meaty flavors atop a strong caramel and sweet malt backbone. Soft spices, fruit and hops back everything up here as well. Very nice!
