Great Divide Wolfgang Doppelbock Lager

Well, unfortunately I am lacking on the update, but at this point that should be no surprise.  So the scenery in the pictures may be... a tad bit late?  Oh well, get used to it.  The good news (possibly bad for some?) is that I mustered up the ability to write a measly couple paragraphs again.  Life is hard, isn't it?

Wolfgang Doppelbock Lager

Appearance- An amber color with ruby highlights.  Tan head as a thin layer of creamy carbonation sticks around.  Slight lacing and the color is clear.

Smell- Classic bready component that is normally found in a doppelbock.  Caramel very noitceable as it lingers in the malt sweetness.  There seems to be a slight weird; I want to say piney, but that is not exactly it.

Taste- A very rich malt taste that is abundant in bready character with slight amounts of nut.  Seems to be a hint of roasted malt in the finish of the beer and that is where the nutty flavor seems to become most apparent.  A caramel sweetness compliments the malt character as well from the middle of the beer into the finish.

Mouthfeel- Medium bodied with smooth carbonation.  Sweet flavor as expected.

Overall and Notes- A great doppelbock, and I have to admit that I was not expecting it to be this enjoyable, especially after the one strange component in the smell.  Glad to see a great doppelbock released by an American brewery.
