For our first year anniversary of federal and state licensing I wanted to brew sometihng a little out of the norm. I have always loved the Alt beer style and decided tha the Dopplesticke would be a perfect way to celebrate this event. Using 50% German Vienna malt and 50% German Pilsner malt was an easy place to start. Sticking with the theme I selected German Magnum hops for bittering and German Hallertau Mittelfruh and Hersbrucker hops for aroma and flavoring. The next stop on the journey was yeast town, I went with a traditional Staudt Alt yeast which beautifully showed off the malt and hop character of the beer while providing that the classic German Alt character. I hope you enjoy this beer as much as I do. Cheers!!!

    Not as bready and a little Sweeter and more carbonated tha your Traditional doppelbovk, but the dark fruit and Toffee really came together nicely as it warmed. Good but not great.

    This was a nice surprise .. . pours a deep toffee amber .. . flavours of caramel, burnt toffee and molasses .. . "rememrable!?!" .. . light finish .. . . What does a clock do when it's hungry? It goes back four seconds.

    Sampled on 4/5/2012. This altbier pours a dark copper color from a 22oz bottle. Medium sized white foamy head with good retention and nice lacing. The aroma is bready, caramel and sweet. A medium bodied alt beer. The malts are caramel, bready and sweet, a touch of biscuit as well. The hops are earthy and spicy. Nice carbonation. Decent carbonation. Lots of malty flavors, somewhere in the medium sweet range, with a touch of dark fruit flavor as well. It’s sweet without being, well sticky. Very easy drinking. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
