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!

Draught at Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery. Pours mahagony with a small tan head. Caramel malt and brown sugar aroma with fruit hop notes. Caramel sweet malt fruit and yeast flavor with hints of maple. Medium bodied and warming palate.

Absolutely no head forms atop the dark hazy amber-orange body. Sweet candied malts appear rich and fruity at first, until a belgian yeasty edge really reminds of candi sugar, which comes to accentuate the sweet peachy, prune and jammy juiciness. Biscuity caramel and mellow acidity complement the round. Medium bodied, active carbonation. Okay scotch ale.

Hazy light chestnut colour. The aroma mixes caramel, alcohol and very light apricot. Cherryish notes lead to a light toffee body. A little ale-like, not long lagered. Light body for style.
