Sprecher Dopple Bock

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

I, uh, can’t say I agree with the spelling choice. Bottle. Very malty with lots of dark rye bread, dark fruit, and a little yeasty funk. Deep dark red with a light brown fizzy head. Very earthy, almost rooty, bittersweet, and lightly dry. Some roast and sticky malt. Dark fruit and caramel with a terminal dose of red berries. Touch of nuttiness in the medium-full body; silken mouthfeel. Dry sticky caramel aftertaste with roast and a little smoke wafting around the back palate. They’re getting a great complexity of malt here. Absolutely superb standalone ... this could be my everyday Doppel.

Dark fruits and chocolate in the aroma.Pours dark copper.Caramel and dark fruits in the flavor.Medium mouthfeel with a wine like finish.

Bottle: Brown with an off white head. Aroma, fruity, chocolate, roasted notes. Flavor, caramel, chocolate and some more fruits. Solid, one of their better ones I think.

Poured from bottle. Dark brown, very little head. Sweet and malty. Hints of apple, almost cider taste, caramel too. This was good.

Bought in a 22 ounce bomber. Wax sealing, a nice touch. Aroma is caramel, along with some raisin/fig, as well as cherry. Very sweet smelling beer and very nice. Body color is dark red and brown with a thin ring of head around my Leffe glass. Smooth roasty malty taste. Not a lot of hops here, but that’s not really expected in the style. I can tell I am drinking this at the right temperature and that is key. Alcohol is barely noticable. A nice doppelbock indeed.

Thin, white head around the sides of the glass...dark, reddish-brown, coloa-looking colored body...Very strong malty aroma, sweet, with a bit of buttery caramel. The flavor is pretty good too - buttery and rich, and very malty. A pleasant roastiness prevails, which a hefty amount of molasses. Good.

Wax-topped bomber, labeled brewmasters reserve, 8% abv - very dark ruby pour, with thick off-white lace - pretty rich, caramel, cherry, cinnamon aroma - fairly high carbonation, but the mouthfeel is relatively creamy in spite of this - not as sweet as a lot of doppels, which is a nice change - the moderate dryness compliments a cocoa flavor - the caramel malt comes through quite a bit, along with a hint of wintery spices, and a touch of warming alcohol - finishes almost peppery, with some spicy hops to balance out the lingering sweetness and cinnamon flavor - a fairly well-balanced brew, from a fairly underrated brewery.

Bottle. Dark red brown colour with a beige head. Sweet caramel malty, rey bread, dark fruits aroma and taste. Medium body with a sweet light dry finish.
