From the brewer

We started this recipe with the malty yet dry balance of a classic German doppelbock, stretched just past the limits of tradition at 9% ABV. The grist is laden with pale and Munich-style malts, and layered with a gentle helping of beechwood-smoked malt. We then gave it a long, slow fermentation with a clean German lager yeast. During the extended lagering period, we aged this beer on American oak spirals to extract lactones and other flavor elements from the wood.

Who's been drinking this

Crisp, caramel, sweet, significant roast bitterness. The smoke is an undertone, but a nice one. This isn’t a campfire.
