Upstream Brewing (Decimator Doppel Bock) Release Party

 
When: Wed, Feb 2 from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Where: Upstream Old Market, 514 South 11th Street, Omaha

Doppelbock is a Bavarian specialty beer first brewed in Munich by the monks of St. Francis of Paula (it was considered “liquid bread” by the monks). The term “doppel (double) bock” was coined by Munich consumers. Decimator Doppelbock is a medium-full body lager that has a very strong malty & toasty aroma. To taste Decimator Doppelbock has a light caramel undertone with a very slight chocolate-like flavor due to a three hour boil (one and a half hours longer than a normal boil). Virtually no hop aroma or bitterness is present in this lager which leaves this a very smooth dark lager with lots of character. Be careful and don’t let the 9% ABV (Alcohol by Volume) decimate you.

1.085 OG, 9% ABV, 20 IBUs

Sweet. Can't honestly remember a doppelbock made by any of our Nebraska breweries. Anyone recall? Seems to me that Rich Chapin made an honest-to-pete Maibock lager back in the early day of Lazlo's.

Pretty sure Upstream did this beer style last year. I vaguely remember getting drunk on it during Uptoberfest this year!
