Sprecher Bourbon Barrel Dopple Bock

Brewed by Sprecher Brewing Company
Style: Doppelbock
Glendale, Wisconsin USA

Crushed with Jakebra. About what expected when I heard a dopple was bourbonized. Came highly recommended by the beermo at 3 cellars. Bourbon is very apparent and it gives a very dry finish. It’s aight.

750ml bottle: This one pours a fairly clear, reddish brown color. There was a "pop" when I opened the bottle, but hardly any head on the pour and what was there went away almost immediately. I was surprised that the aroma was a bit light. It was still good, however with notes of bourbon, malt and fruit. The bourbon and the malt compete to be on top, but the bourbon is the main flavor in the finish. Some dark fruits also. I really like this, but I like bourbon also. If bourbon isn’t your thing, this won’t be your beer.

Deep reddish colour with a tan head. Malty, fruity and almost sugary sweet aroma with vinous notes. Malty, fruity and quite vinous flavor with notes of bread and wood.

Bottle. A dark red beer with a big beige head. The aroma and taste is of caramel malt, bourbon and alcohol. Medium body with a bourbon, metalic finish.

Aroma of bourbon and caramel. The beer has a very nice red colour, but with not head (more or less). The flavor is of bourbon, but not as good as the aroma, it lags something. The beer has a rather thick body.

Hazy dark brown with tiny off white head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, smoke and caramel notes. Sweet flavor with roasted malt, caramel and warming alcohol in the end.
