The Imperator Doppelbock is a classic German Doppelbock that is comparable to Spaten's Optimator without trying to be a clone. It is of a dark mahagony color without roasted notes in aroma or taste. Though intended to be complex in flavor it is also very drinkable. Mostly due to its starting extract of 18.5 Plato which puts it in the lower end of the range for Doppelbocks, but most commercial examples are fairly close to that range. This beer will take some time. After lagering it for 2 months, it should be aged for at least another 2 months.
