Brauerei Schwan Alexator Doppelbock

Brauerei Schwan Alexator Doppelbock is a richly malty chestnut hued example of the style. The massive ivory head is rocky and chiffon-like. There’s light roast and licorice in the nose. The richly malty palate is more of the same. Underlying hops make for a lingering semi-dry bittersweet finish.
