Did the Imperial beach Triathlon (actually think it's called Surf Town instead of IB, but whatever) and so I think this is a fitting beer to have.

Bought at South Coast Drugs, since I was in the neighborhood. Bottle poured into a snifter glass

A - A deep molasses color. There was a few mm worth of head, and it died down fairly quickly. Not much lacing is left on my glass.

S - Some nice roast smells mixed with a biscuity sweetness. I almost want to say I get a touch of oak or bourbon in there too. No, I lied. It's vanilla. I like vanilla.

T - Similar to the smell. Some nice roast mixed with espresso and a touch of malty sweetness on the back. Lots of flavor for the style. There's a little bit of a boozy bite on the end of it as well.

M - High carbonation with an oily/heavy body. Maybe a touch too high on the carbonation for me.

D - Really good doppelbock. It's drinking easy, but I prefer other styles. Glad I finally tried this, though.
