Bent Paddle Doppelbock German-style Lager. 7.7 % ABV. 20 IBU.Bent Paddle Brewing, Duluth, MN.
Dark brown color, nearly opaque under a thin slab of cream-toned foam.
In the nose: Sweet and caramel. Dark malts, brown sugar, molasses.
In the mouth: Sugary-sweet from the start, Uber-malty and tasty as can be. Medium-bodied, long, malty finish, ending a bit on the dry side, but the sweetness never falters. Might be "too sweet" for some. Me, I don't care. It's delicious.
This German style Doppelbock is a full bodied "meal in a glass"- a hearty lager perfect for the winter landscape. Malt forward flavors of bread and caramel dominate the subtle sweetness with a slight hint of chocolate in the finish. Pours a deep amber red with a full effervescent head.
