Taste Buds 141: Cheers for Cherries! (Widmer Cherry Oak Doppelbock)
Wednesday, October 7th, 2009From the Brewer: Cherry Oak Doppelbock kicks off a new semi-annual series from the brewery, Brothers’ Reserve. Cherry Oak Doppelbock is a rich ale, cold-fermented with dark sweet and red tart cherries, then conditioned on new, heavily toasted American oak. The result is a dark lustrous brew with up-front malty sweetness and cherry fruit notes completed by caramel, dark chocolate, and toasted oak undertones. Cherry Oak Doppelbock is available in 22 ounce bottles uniquely packaged in an individual box. Fifty lucky Widmer Brothers fans will discover Kurt’s hand-signed bottles inside. The autographed bottles have been distributed at random throughout the country and, curious about where they’ll land, the brothers are asking consumers who find one to share the purchase location via Facebook (www.facebook.com/WidmerBrothersBrewing) or Twitter (@Widmer_Brothers). Brothers’ Reserve Cherry Oak Doppelbock is available at select retailers nationwide* for an SRP of $7.99 – $9.99. Bottles are extremely limited in quantity and once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. The second release in the series is set to debut in Spring 2010.
