South Shore Wheat Dopplebock

Pours dark brown with orangish highlights. Aroma of spice banana and brown sugar/molasses. Flavor of roasted malts and honey with a touch of citrus and banana.

GTMW 2007. Poured a dark brown color with orange highlights. Aroma was of clove, a hint of banana, light alcohol, and brown sugar. Roasty and lightly acidic on the tongue with notes of toasted bread, tangy banana, and honey touched cereal grain. Pretty good.

On tap at brewery. The bartender said this was the Weizen Stout Dopplebock. DOn’t know if this is the same beer, but I imagine he was wrong, but it WAS stout-like. Weak aroma of chocolate and banana. Light brown head that left some lace. constantly refreshed by active carbonation. Roasted chocolate and banana with some oak notes. Slightly bitter from the roasted malts, butvery good overall.

Brown Coloring with Dusty Head. Strong Malt Aroma. Light Wheat Notes as well. Pretty Complex Brew But Quite Enjoyable. Roasts, Prunes, Thick Mouthfeel, Then the Wheat Hits You Hard. Malty Sweet and Very Tasty. Worth Trying to Find.

On-tap at Gitchee Gumee Brewfest - Dark cola brown with a thin cocoa colored cap, spotty minimal lacing. Aroma is heavy and dark of roasted barley malt, bits of tangy molasses, and an even more darker sweetness of wheat. Dark roasty flavors throughout, light smokey nuances, almost peet-like earthyness, lighter molasses decorates the rest. Sweet, dark and crisp wheatness, and pruney with a trailing off finish thats complexly built with some dark cherry and dates mixing with heavy leftover roasty things sprinkling some coffee dryness and dusted cocoa. Solid finishing characteristics. Really pulls together nicely at the end. Feel is a bit short of most Dopples, has a decent medium body overall, sweet, roasty, kinda tangy, lightly creamy with more carbonation then I’d like to see, its a bit unsmooth in some areas but continued to hold its own as it warmed. Overall - its a pretty solid dopple and was close to getting better numbers but just needed a little extra ompff in the beginning and some thicker creamyness. But it’s another beer from South Shore to look forward to.
