Samuel Adams Double Bock (Imperial Series)
Samuel Adams Double Bock is a double bock that was obviously left on lees for a LONG time. There has clearly been a lot of autolysis and that gives a Vegemite flavour. I like vegemite, so I mostly like this beer. A: dark red colour and a 15 mm head that fades to good lacing. 4.5 S: sweet, malty aroma with hints of pine and autolysed yeast. Super interesting; mostly pleasant. 4 T: Malt and vegemite. This beer is completely dominated by the autolysed yeast flavour I associate with vegemite. Sam Adams obviously keep their Imperial Series beers fermenting on lees for a a long time. Maximum Umami. 4 M: Foamy. Silky. 4.5 O: Nice, but too much umami for most people, I would think. 4
