Beer Tasting 44:PhillipsInstigatorDopplebock/Victoria/BC/Can

Phillips brewery is from Victoria, the provincial capital of British Columbia in Western Canada. Dopplebock is a style with a history trace back to Munich, Germany. Father Barnabas Still of a local monastery was according to history the one who created the recipe. The beer was brewed to celebrate the end of the 40 days fasting during Lent but another version suggests that it was the very beer that sustained the monks during this time as a liquid diet! Either of the above versions (Also look at the Trappist beer) suggests that the monks were a thirsty bunch and needed much stimulants for their intense meditation...zzz...
Dopplebock is meant to be a higher alcohol malty but hoppy drink. This one come with an amber brown colour suggesting the beer uses a medium roasted malt. The mouth feel was smooth and creamy followed with some roasted but sweet and biscuity malt then the hop followed. I am not sure what type of hop they use but traditional German DB uses much Hallertau hop. The hop contributed some bitterness but with a herbal tea taste. This is not the biggest DB I have tasted but bigger and more assertive don't mean it's better. Very drinkable indeed. (Rating 87-89 points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review

That shit looks disgusting. If you can't label beer properly, don't drink it. Sam Adams Boston Ale is the only great tasting beer, so this whole excercise is pointless. Everything else sucks. 'Night now.
