Ram Lord is a robust Doppelbock that showcases the deep, bready complexity of Munich, Vienna, and Pilsner malts. Open fermentation adds a clean, refined character, enhancing the rich Maillard products and deeply toasted profile. Expect sensory notes of dark fruit leather, light caramel, and crusty bread, balanced by a gentle, integrated 8% alcohol warmth. This full-bodied lager pours a deep copper with brilliant ruby highlights, offering a smooth, velvety mouthfeel that leads into a lingering, malt-driven finish. It remains faithful to heritage, emphasizing malt dominance over hop presence while maintaining a clean, well-attenuated lager profile.
