3 Beers to Christmas

Altenmünster Winterbier Dopplebock. Say that three times fast! Who would guess the difficulty it takes to drink a beer, describe it, and then photograph it uniquely 12 nights in a row? I guess there are greater things to worry about in the world, but right now this is serious stuff!

Altenmünster Winterbier Dopplebock


Anyway, tonight's beer was picked solely because it was German and had a swing top bottle. Tonight, I'm shallow. Fortunately, my shallowness paid off in spades. How often does that happen?

This dopplebock poured with a brown, slightly reddish body, with a rather large head. Those nose was sweet and the taste was all malt. It really had a warm sensation, as the beer made it's way across my tongue. The warmth of the alcohol really stood out, even though this beer is just over 7%. The finish tasted of toffee.

A nice cold evening sipping beer. This was a good choice and better yet, I now have a new swing top bottle for homebrew.
