Batch 168 Doppelbock tasting notes

45 df from tap

Pours deep orance, clear, fine tan head that lingers at edge, laces

Aroma buttery sweet, indian spicy, some tart fruit

Mouthfeel moderate to thick body, coats with sweetness

Flavor melanoids up front, butterscotch, touch of brightness/yeast, malt bitterness at end

Finish malt bitterness dissolves into hoppy edge, feel quenched.

Overall best yet doppelbock, could make a bit thicker/sweeter, but hides alcohol well and isn't overly sweet/cloying.  Packs a punch.  Hop balance is about right there.  Big malt flavor is spot on.  Maybe try decocting out.
