Widmer Bros Cherry Oak Doppelbock
Lately it is all about special edition wood aged beers. I like these trends, it produces unique flavours.
Ratebeer 3.55 87th percentile
Beer Advocate B+
Taste +4
The name gave away the nose. Yes, it was woody with cherry syrup that was similar to a mild port. This is a thick, slippery and boozy brew. It is very Trappist like with a good mix of cherry, dry wood and caramel malty syrup.
Aftertaste +2
The slightly glycerin-like coating left a sweet cherry/sherry residue.
Alcohol Content +1 9%
Yup, you can notice it. You also don't really care because it is so delicious.
Value +1
If I could get it again I would.
Ingame Enhancement +1
This is the best brew for sitting on the floor watching your little girl decorate a Christmas tree.
Overall 9/10
This was a stellar brew. It was the syrupy sweetness of a doppelbock with enhanced flavours from wood aging and the added cherries.
