From the brewer

Ballast Point’s Brewing and Spirits Navigator Doppelbock is inspired by the strong German dark lagers and bock’s. Briess Extra Special malt helps create the source of the flavors that dominate the aroma and taste buds in Navigator. You are able to enjoy forward flavors of caramelized malt sugars and dried fruits, such as raisins, apricots and prunes. This strong lager is a big malt-driven beer that truly deserves the nickname “liquid bread.”

Who's been drinking this

Very good, as usual. Even better in the brewery restaurant, which was gorgeous.
Lovely caramel wheat biscuits taste but without being sappy or thick. Moderate alcohol presence for 8.9%.
Mmm, so bready and delicious. I really liked the brandy barreled version of this but the base beer is also yummy. And doesn't nearly show its high alcohol content.
