High hopes for today's beer. The brewery has impeccable pedigree.

Smell-dark fruits  and caramel.

Taste-that fruity character is the first thing that hits you lips.

Mouth-This really opens up on the swirl. The fruity flavors, caramel, slight hops. It's all there. Beautiful blend.

Drinkability-A great sipping drink...especially as it warms. Complex but never overwhelming. Delicious.

About:

Tasting Notes:
Originally called “liquid bread,” the Doppelbock style sustained monks through periods of penitent fasting. Wolfgang has heavenly notes of caramel, dark fruit, and toffee balanced by a subtle hop character. While its revered history evokes an appreciation of austerity and sacrifice, this Doppelbock is a rich luxury—no repentance required. 8% ABV

Food Pairing:
Crown roast of pork, pasta carbonara, sweet potato fries, Appenzeller aged Swiss, specialty milk chocolate.

Availability:
This is a Seasonal. Great Divide Wolfgang Dopplebock is on sale today at Gilly’s Craft Beer (available in 22oz bottles)
