Our newest small batch release is a pecan smoked Doppelbock lagered in our own bourbon barrels for a short time. This deep mahogany, full-bodied brew has aromas of nutty smoke and stone fruit, with flavors of rich malt, dried fruit, cinnamon, vanilla, and oak. A portion of the malt was smoked by hand at Ranger Creek with Texas pecan wood in our very own Texas malt smoker. The beer was then lagered for 2 months in Ranger Creek bourbon barrels. Bottles will age and mellow nicely for up to 10 years if stored properly.

Aroma: 6 | Appearance: 9 | Mouthfeel: 8 | Flavor: 8 | Overall: 8
Pours black with small head. Aroma and flavor are unique but not weird. There's a nice balance and interplay between smoke, wood, spice (think clove and pepper) and whiskey. For a barrel aged specialty beer, it's surprisingly light bodied (medium actually) with bright, effervescent carbonation. I wish I knew the abv, I speculate it is 7-8%, quite drinkable. Like my fellow reviewer, I would love to buy another bottle though I doubt that will be possible. I enjoyed this beer and it didn't disappoint as my 1000th review.

Gotta say this one intrigued me, a pecan smoked dopplebock, aged in oak. All sounds good but i was worried there would be too much going on, and how everything would work together. Aromas of some nice smoke up front, then the burbon, vanilla, and wood from the barrels, also some dark fruits as well. Flavor was much the same, the flavors worked really well together, smokey malts, some fruit, and spice with vanilla. Nice thick mouthfeel, ok carbonation, some lace. Overall this borders on excellence, think i'll buy another if i can.
