Blue Ridge Sublimator

Poured a copper brown color with a very nice initial head, but weak lacing. I want more depth of color out of my doppelbocks. The aroma was doughy and spicey, almost smelled like a maibock. The flavor was of some caramel, dough, spices, light grass, and maybe some nuts. I wanted more dark fruit flavors at least in the background. Mouthfeel was only moderate for the style (ie. kinda light). A nice beer, but not an outstanding doppelbock. A little bit of a let down after some good success on other Frederick beers.

Wow...what a pleasant surprise! Most of these American attempts at dopplebocks are just too darned sweet...this one could've passed for the real deal. Beautiful pour with nice one finger foamy head and lacing. The smell and taste was of rich malts and dark fruits. The flavor was just sweet enough, but NOT OVERPOWERING. Very nicely done. I feel for Dick Miller (who says he owns stock). They have to get the word out. My second Blue Ridge beer and they were both very good!

Wow, definately a very interesting beer. Draft, poured a nice soft copper color, with nondesript head. Huge flavor, lot's off stuff in this one. Nice full dopplebock flavor but with a unique fruity characfter that really surpassed all of my expectations. I had to get more of this one. Very good!

I have stock in this company so I am a little biased toward some of the beers. I wish I did not buy it because it is doing so poorly. This is one of their better products.
