The brewery: Solace Brewing Company, Sterling, Virginia
Description (from the website): "Rich, sweet, malty German style beer with flavors of chocolate and dark stone fruits."
Would I buy it again? I can't resist a doppelbock, it is my favorite style of beer. Unfortunately, while it's genuinely extremely good and I can't really criticize it in terms of taste (at least not in a way that isn't nitpicking), the unfortunate truth is that Troegenators are significantly cheaper (this was $12 for a four pack, while you can get six Troegenators for that price) and the taste is ever so slightly better. Nothing against this beer, I would absolutely never say no to one, but I can't justify buying it over my literal favorite beer.
Sorry Griswold, it was never a fair fight.
