Doppel-Hirsch
A - Deep dark ruby to brown, very strong head on pour S - Malt, figs, candi sugar, alcohol. Very strong heavy caramel smell. T - rich caramel and malt taste, slight alcohol notes, finishes nice caramel on back of tongue. Would have prefered a bit less of an alcohol note on a beer only 7.2% M - Well attenuated and dried, a smooth lager thickness with a deceptively heavy mouthfeel. Really enjoyable in this aspect. O - Not my favorite doppelbock but it was worth the $4 (if anything for the swing-top bottle to be re-used). Assertive on the malts, no hop aroma or flavor to speak of.
