Starr Hill Snow Blind

I love doppelbocks, and they just seem to be so enjoyable in the chilly weather.  I'm glad I have a couple to choose from in my keezer.  This time around, I went with the Starr Hill Snow Blind:

Vittles:
Doppelbock
7.4% abv
13 IBU

Score:
Appearance: 8/10
Aroma: 21/25
Taste: 35/40
Mouthfeel: 8/10
Style: 5/5
Drinkability: 8/10
Overall: 85/100

Impression:
The head didn't pour out very nicely, but what're you gonna do?  The aroma really hits the mark for this style -- malt-heavy with brown sugar, molasses, and dark fruit complexities, with some toast and earthy notes in the background.  The cereal and raisin flavors blend well together, and the moderate sweetness is complemented by a slight dryness.  The flavors are strong and bold, and as the beer warms, some yeast characters come out to play.  The mouthfeel is a little chewy, a little creamy, and very enjoyable.  Overall, this is a very good dobbelbock, and I will look for it again.

Cheers!
