Boulevard Smokestack Series Seeyoulator Doppelbock & Seasonal Bob's 47

I was very excited to receive a sample of these seasonal brews from Boulevard's Marketing Dept last week.  Have a beer with me!
Cheers!

Seeyoulator Doppelbock
Style: Doppelbock
Availability: Fall Seasonal, 750 mL Bottles and Draught (limited)

Doppelbock was first brewed in Munich around 1700 by the monks of Saint Francis of Paula, to sustain them through the Lenten fast. They called their full-bodied brew “Salvator.” Today it is customary to pay homage to the good brothers by giving doppelbocks names ending in “-ator.” Our version bids a fond aufwiedersehen to tradition, charting a flight path into bold new territory. Medium amber in color, it offers a heady, estery banana aroma. Rich maltiness predominates, with cedar aging lending just a hint of spice to the finish.
