The brewery: Rough Edges Brewing, Waynesboro, Pennsylvania
Description (from Untappd): "German style strong lager originally brewed by monks to get them through a lengthy fast. Known as liquid bread."
Would I buy it again? This really is the dream. The local brewery, just a 10-minute walk away, making my favorite style of beer. It sounds like a recipe for success, but have they managed to stick the landing?
I'm happy to report that, yes, they did. This beer is clean, tasty, and malty, exactly like a doppelbock should be. I might have preferred it to be a little denser with a touch more flavor, but that's nitpicking. No, it's not quite as good as a Troegenator, but 90% as good is still very, very tasty. I really hope this one sticks around for a while, because I'm definitely planning on buying some more of these.
