Grand Teton Double Vision Dopplebock

Not sure what to think of this beer. Suspending expectations, it's definitely an enjoyable and decadent beer. If I was really in the mood for a doppelbock, though, this would be a huge miss. Everyone's rating is pretty spot on, but for the fact that nobody mentions this is really nothing like any other doppelbock. Pours like a stout, and has very little of the liquid bread aspect the style usually is known for. Lots more choaolte and dark malt. Sweet, almost rum like in it's fruitiness, with some yeast and roast coming through as well. So, very nice beer, not a good doppelbock. Reminds me more of a hybrid like Old Viscosity than anything else.

Comes out of the tap a luscious dark-chocolate brown with a thick and rather persistent tan head. Rich aroma fills the nose with a strong malt note and caramel, cloves and woody hops in attendance. Scrumptious flavor pleases with a malty core and firm cloves, caramel, earthy and nutty tones - plus an almost bourbon-like alcohol chomp. Syrupy flavor is quite firm and viscous, but fizz leaves a little to be desired. Just be sure that you don't drink this until you get double vision - and if you do, PLEASE call a cab.

Had the opportunity to share this awesome brew with John and my wife today. An incredibly tastey brew which goes even further back to Stoutlover. Dark muddy brown, damnn near black. Sweet nutty caramel aroma on the nose. A little vanilla undertone. Chocolate malt, roasted coffee and big earthy tones run rampant. Super heady. Generous and abundant in all areas. Loved it! Thanks John and Garrett!

1L bottle from BevMo -

Aroma - the aroma on this one is almost worth the price of admission, and the price on this 1L bottle is kinda hefty. Huge blast of toasted raisin bread, hefty caramel notes, chocolate cake batter, brown sugar, molasses...just insane.

Appearance - dark chocolate brown body, nearly black with a medium thick creamy tan head.

Taste - the flavor on this beer matches nearly in perfect step with the wonderful aroma. Heapings of brown sugar, vanilla, raisins, caramel...it’s definitely a malt monster and it’s fantastic.

Palate - thick, rather heavy-handed on the palate, viscuous and coating

Overall - one of the best beers I’ve had in recent memory and while skeptical of the price on this huge bomber, the contents inside are well, well worth it. Very suprising.

Sampled on 3/25/2009. This dopplebock pours a eclipse black color form a 1 litter swing-top bottle. Medium to small sized beige foamy head with nice retention and good lacing. The aroma is chocolate, coffee, some vanilla, and dark fruits. A medium bodied dopplebock. The malts are chocolate, coffee, roasty malts, touch of toffee and vanilla. The hops are earthy and floral. Nice balance. Very smooth taste, nearly creamy. Very nice soft carbonation. Great sipping beer. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
