Well it didn't take 4 weeks, more like 11 days... and this is one of the best beers i've brewed. I let this age for a little longer in the secondary, and i think that made a big difference. This dopplebock has molasses in it, and it came through very nicely. There is a definite alcohol warmth.... i think i calculated alcohol to be around 8 percent. I got the recipe from The Homebrewer's recipe guide, modified it slightly and i think it came out very well. Winter is always a good time to make lagers since our cold room in the basement averages in the 40-50s...
Molasses, Caramel, Dextrine malts, light hops... mmmm... beautiful tan head... stays for as long as you drink the beer... excellent excellent head.

Wow, Willy, I can't wait to try it. We are drinking some of Troeg's doppelbock in anticipation.
