Commercial Description:
The first lager ever done at the Mountain Sun, this doppelbock took a gold at the 1998, 1999, and 2000 GABF, as well as a silver medal at the 2000 world beer cup. Made with eight different malts, this full-bodied lager, which has aged for over six months, will make you wish that this beer was available year round. Keep an eye out because this lager makes its appearance only twice a year.

tap at the brewpub. bloody hazed amber with little head. smell is cherry & sweet malt. tastes like diluted cough syrup. rough and watery, a chore to finish. weird artificial caramel chocolate, & cherry notes that stick to my tongue like the survivors of a horrible shipwreck.

Plums and marzipan in the sweet and fruity aroma. Clear orange-tan body with no head whatsoever. Strong fruitiness, caramelized malt character and fair bitterness define the flavour. Medium body with low carbonation. Sampled on tap at the brewpub with ClarkVV, Olivier_MTL and Rastacouere.

Sample #3 from the pub, Boulder, CO. GABF weekend, 10/1. Plum malt nose, with an off-brown hue. Mild caramel malt. Good sugar and sweet malts. Very little hop finish. Smooth!
