🌍 United States · Doppelbock · One of 41 Doppelbocks in hopIQ

A strong spring lager named in homage to an Oregon doom-metal band, mashed with four decoctions and conditioned for weeks at below-freezing temperatures. It pours a deep amber. The repeated boiling of the mash shows in dense bread crust, caramel and toffee, with a light chocolate note from the darker malts. The body is full and malty, and the alcohol stays warming without heat, carrying a sweet but balanced finish.

◌ Aroma

The nose reveals the complexity of the four-decoction mash technique: prominent notes of bread crust and caramel dominate, with underlying toffee sweetness and a subtle chocolate character from the darker malts. The alcohol presence is warm and integrated rather than sharp, supporting rather than overshadowing the malt-driven character. No aggressive hop aromatics intrude on this malt-forward profile.
