Bell's Consecrator Doppelbock

This 8.0% ABV doppelbock is from Bell's Brewery in Comstock, Michigan. This beer uses an old world lager yeast. The beer pours a deep amber and burnt orange in color, turning nearly ruby when held to the light. There is a short and thin head that is off white to light brown. The aroma is sweet, tangy and roasted malt, caramel, sweet potato, plums. The taste follows the aromas directly with a sweet and tangy maltiness. It is medium to heavy bodied with just a tingle of carbonation. This is very true to the style.
