Notes:
This malty, full-bodied double alt is also known as “Stickebier” – German slang for “secret brew”. Long Trail Double Bag was originally offered only in our brewery taproom as a special treat to our visitors. With an alcohol content of 7.2%, please indulge in moderation. The Long Trail Brewing Company is proud to have Double Bag named Malt Advocate’s “Beer of the Year” in 2001. Malt Advocate is a national magazine devoted to “expanding the boundaries of fine drinks”. Their panel of judges likes to keep things simple, and therefore of thousands of eligible competitors they award only two categories: “Imported” and “Domestic”. It is a great honor to receive this recognition.

look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
It has a very sweet almost bock like malt forward beer with that alcohol solvent smell in the background. Hardly any hop in the smell. The smell reminds me of an Old Ale I had from Lancaster brewing one time and also has reminiscent smells of Samuel Adams double bock.
Its a very very smooth beer and thats what makes this beer a great one. The malt is very smooth no graininess like youd get in cheap beers and its sweet but not overly so. You get a tad of herbal leafy hop flavor reminiscent of the hop flavor youd get in their IPA.
You get a bit of the alcohol taste and burn at the end of the sip as well but the velvety smooth rich malty taste melded together with that slight herbal hop quality will definitely have me getting this beer again in the future.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Appearance: amber in color, minimal head, low carbonation, clear
Smell: rich caramel malt and toffee
Taste: rich caramel malt and toffee with slight citrus hops
Mouthfeel: medium-light carbonation, medium body, very sweet with slight bitterness at the end
Overall: This is so readily available around here, I keep on forgetting how good a quality this beer is. This is a nice and sweet malty treat. It is sweet without ever being cloying. I do like this one on the colder side though.
Serving type: on-tap

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.75
Appearance: Clear brown with ruby chestnut hues. Slight khaki head with very little retention. The color is fantastic
Aroma: Lots of malts. Toasty graininess. Candied fruits. Caramel. Some brown sugar. A little spice (maybe cinnamon). The aroma screams autumn to me
Taste: Follows the nose with a crisp fruity sweetness followed by some rustic spice with a pleasant hop bitterness on the end. Spicy and warming. Alcohol is noticeable as it warms. Complex and delicious
Mouthfeel: Crisp and full-bodied. Clean. Very pleasant on the palate.
Overall: Actually really impressed by this one. Would definitely get again. Check it out if you haven't
