Avery, The Kaiser –Avery Brewing Co, Boulder, CO.
Imperial Märzen Lager 10.2% (?) ABV 22oz – Dictator Series-
A: Pours a brilliant caramel to light copper. The head is a gorgeous white with tight bubbles and carries with it perfect sticky lacing.
S: Breadiness and toasted caramel blended with a touch of spice from the noble hops and a touch of booze.
T: Malt bomb! Sweetness blended with warming booziness and herbal flavors from the hops. There is a touch of spice but it does not dominate the rich caramel notes of the toasted malt which leaves for a strong finish that leans on the sweeter side for lagers.
M: Heavy and fully bodied. Carbonation is very good, long finish semi-sweet finish
D: This is another sipper! For those that say they don’t lagers here’s the one they will fall in love with. For those that like a sweeter beer this is for them as well and let’s not leave out those that enjoy a brew that carries a punch of alcohol. The Kaiser might be one of the most approachable beers above 8% ABV that is not Belgian in nature.
