Moerlein Emancipator Doppelbock

Emancipator Doppelbock. Christian Moerlein Brewing Co. Cincinnati, OH

7.0% ABV.

Another major Cincinnati brewery, we carried this one with us from Cincinnati to Kalamazoo, and now it is time to drink.

Appearance

Caramel brown. Fizzy head with big soda-like bubbles.

Smell

Soy sauce. Hope that’s not a bad sign. Some malty caramel like a doppelbock.

Aimee again detects “loquat leaf extract”. I again don’t know what that is.

Taste

The malty-caramelly flavor is there, but it’s also artificial and medicinal.

It’s not great.

Mouthfeel

Strangely flat for how bubbly it poured.

Overall

Terrible mouthfeel, taste doesn’t campare well to other doppelbocks.

We didn’t finish it.
