Commercial Description:
Blue goat is a tribute to the perseverance and billy goat-toughness of those charged with the mission of bringing beer to the people. Many charismatic, resourceful people and countless pieces of quirky equipment have endured endless challenges to exceed humble expectations. The grit and stubborn determination of these "Blue Goats" are integral to all that is craft brewing and New Holland. Join us in raising a glass to the Blue Goats of our industry. Share a glass or two with a brewery worker and, with any luck, they'll share a couple of priceless stories about the resilience of craft brewers and their breweries. Blue Goat Doppelbock is chestnut in color with a nutty mlat profile from it's signature Munich malt. A muted hop presence and smooth caramelized body culminate in a clean, dry finish. 18 degrees plato.

Thick beige head, deep copper/red colour. Scents of sweet caramel, butter, raisin. tastes very similar to its scent. Smooth, goes down easy. A solid beer.

A dark caramel brown beer that pours smooth with a nice wheat colored head. Nice and sweet with a strong raisen finish. A nice beer to finish a tough day.

(bottle - 22 oz) Light brown in color with a light tan head. Aroma is very light and malty with some vegetable notes as well. Flavor is very, very light and weak. Not a whole lot of flavor really, but what I could taste was light malts and some caramel. Alcohol was hidden well and finished clean. Not bad but could just use more flavor.

pours clear dark red with a small fizzy off-white head. Aroma is complex, heavy malt, cookies, carmel, leather, and hints of dark fruits and some vinilla esters. Flavor starts well balanced with nice carmel flavors, finishes a bit more sweet with a clean short finish. medium bodied, creamy softly carbonated, very nice. Every sip has me begging for more NICE!

A dissappointing doppelbock by an American Brewer, not the first by any means. Pours reddish brown with a minimal off-white head that would lace the glass a touch. Super malty aroma with a note of chocolate, pretty one dimensional. Very sweet taste with an inexplicable sourness. Pretty far from what you’d expect in a doppelbock. A bit watery and thin in the mouth, bitterness lingers faintly. They missed the boat.

22 oz bottle. Clear dark amber with a creamy white head and thin lace patches. Caramel, light malts and mocha. Coffee with cream and sugar, light carb, medium light body. Minimal aftertaste. Seems weak.
