AHS Bavarian Doppelbock (5C) - MINI MASH Homebrew Ingredient Kit

I brewed the mini mash and since I do not have lagering capability yet, I went with the kolsch yeast strain and did half an alcohol boost to get it nearly to 9%. 2 weeks in primary, 4 weeks in secondary all at around 63 degrees. then another two weeks in keg at around 32 degrees. at first, had a bit of an overwhelming chocolate finish, but after another week, OH BOY, it smoothed out nice. even with the kolsch yeast, I surmise this is one of the better doppelbocks I have had. I would def brew this again, but in the fall or winter months next time.

Absolutely love this beer. Every one who tried it loves it. Super sweet and chocolate taste. Would highly recommend. Need a way to cold store though. Make sure you can do it. This beer is very malt and high in alcohol. Tastes delicious. All my alcoholic friends say make more please.

Very tasty beer with nice foamy head. Slightly stronger in taste and alcohol than a Schartzbier. Benefits from a three week or longer conditioning. This is a good overall dark beer and one that I'll always keep onhand for myself, saving the Coors Light for the non-enlightened guests. TAP in SW Texas

Brewed again (all-grain version this time) and turned out to be another overwhelming winner! Great beer with wonderful malty flavor bursting through!!!

OG 1.085, FG 1.027 with a wonderful flavor and finish. This is a very very good dopplebock. My father-in-law finally tried this and has fallen in love with it (even my MIL, who doesn't drink beer at all stated she did like this one). I really believe that this brew may end up bringing my FIL into the homebrewing world as he's now excited to brew my next batch with me... bonding over brewing... just doesn't get any better than that!
