Here at ScapeGoat Ink, we love us some blonde's (and brunettes, and redheads), and we also love us some German-style beer (and  any beer or beer flavored anything). But what would happen if the two were to meet? Hmmm, sexy, sexy German-style beer wearing lederhausen and a blonde wig.

WEEK 7:


Blonde Doppelbock
Capital Brewery

For those of you who are unsure what a doppelbock is, the masters at Beer Advocate explain it best, "Doppelbocks—as the name might suggest—are typically even stronger [German lagers] and contain enough malty goodness that they've been considered a meal in a glass for centuries." Now it's true that doppelbocks are slightly on the heavy side, but this is a blonde, which means it's the lightest a bock can go before it's no longer considered a bock, making it perfect for the mild Chicago weather we've been having lately.

This beauty of a beer has a deep, clear, golden hue and provides some interesting flavors—caramel and toffee with a slight fruity hint. According to Capital Brewery's website this is a limited-time beer, so we advise you to jump on board, or be forced to wait for next year's brews. Interestingly enough, there are also a few recipes on their site for cheesecake using this doppelbock as an ingredient, as well as a long list of awards this pretty little Blonde won. Although the awards are deserving, it's kind of sad when a beer  makes you feel even more unaccomplished and lazy than originally thought. I'm sure this beer's mom is proud as hell at her lil' beer, what with it wowing taste buds across the country—stupid, delicious, blonde fuck. Well, mom, we're sorry we're such disappointments. I guess we can't all be big winners like this doppelbock, but we certainly can be raging drunks who forget they're losers. Oh, look! An accomplished Blonde Doppelbock, don't mind if I do. Hell, a few more of these and we'll all be winners, no thanks to you, mom. Cheers!
