22oz bottle from Hop City (Atlanta, GA). 7.99. No bottle date but this was just released about 2 weeks ago. Served in a Dogfish Head snifter.

Pours a deep dark crimson with a half finger pale tan head. No lacing.

Smells of smoked malts, raisin bread and caramel.

The smokey malts lead off with burnt sugar, bitter cocoa, caramel, nuts and sweet bread. More smokey/ roasty and less sweet than I was expecting. The alcohol stays hidden.

Creamy medium body with a good bit of mildly fizzy carbonation.

Neither my favorite doppelbock nor my favorite from Jailhouse but this is pretty tasty stuff. It's good to see Jailhouse continuing to branch into new styles. I'll most likely have this again.
