Latest tasting is the Consecrator Doppelbock by Bell's brewery in Comstock, MI. If you can get your hands on any Bell's beer definitely try to grab some. They are consistently good. I picked this 6-pack up at Roof Brothers in Paducah, KY, along with Bell's Oberon and a growler of Bell's Hopslam. We can't get Bell's beer in Tennessee. Doppelbocks are commonly brewed for the spring season and Bell's offers this from March to November. I've wanted to try this one for a little while. I have been into Doppelbocks lately and once I saw that Bell's had one, I've been curious.
(poured into a snifter)
Color: sunburst (from gold to brown), clear.
Smell: Had a Belgian, banana-y, chocolat-y, malty smell.
Taste: Smooth, definitely has the malty backdrop. Light to medium body. There is a mild hop taste present. Creamy. Chocolat-y. Mild carbonation. No head. Not much lacing. For 8% alcohol content, you definitely don't taste the alcohol. It is definitely drinkable and smooth.
Overall: It is pretty good. I will definitely drink more, but it wasn't as incredible as I expected.
Rating: A-
