Pale orange salmonreddish mahogany color. Aromas and flavors of bananas foster, candied chocolate covered cherries, Red Vines, and malt candies with a velvety, lively, spritzy, dry medium-to-full body and a complex, medium-long finish that presents accents of chocolate cherry nougat, malt candy, banana bread, and grilled pineapple in chocolate sauce. A big and malty powerhouse to get you through those last bittery chilly winter days; lots of rich notes that bring the flavor without overdoing it.

About
Doppelbock
Doppelbocks vary from amber to dark brown in color and range in alcohol from 7.5-9.5%. This is a sub-category of the bock style. These beers are extra strong, rich and weighty lagers characterized by an intense malty sweetness, with a note of hop bitterness to balance the flavor. Doppelbocks were first brewed by the Paulaner monks in Munich. At the time, it was intended to be consumed as "liquid bread" during Lent. Noteworthy examples of this style include: Ayinger Celebrator Doppelbock, Paulaner Salvator Doppel Bock and Capital Autumnal Fire.
