The beer label has a charging ram with with flames racing behind it, burning up what looks like a European chapel and a domed government building. I thought the Ram would devastate some sheep, not downtown Munich. But hey, when in Utah...(insert Mormon joke here)
After helping Eunich the Forlorn Elk with a sip, I pour the rest out for myself. We're vacationing in Deer Valley, Utah and I spent the day skiing and the afternoon has been spent watching the highly anticipated Broncos vs. Chiefs, with Kyle Orton Vs. Tebow, a game with with soap opera-isq drama. Orton was on the Broncos earlier this year until he was fired and replaced by the love him/hate him Tim Tebow. Now it's a showdown.
Sitting beside a roaring fireplace with a bag of chips and cold beer is doing my aching body good. This game has been everything but Devestating, so I'm hoping this double bock will double the excitement. Come on Fireball Ram!

| Upon closer inspection, it actually appears that the ram has terrible gas and there were no survivors. |
This 8% doppelbock is a Shiner Bock with a ferocious bite. It has a big malt body with a bit of nut and toffee. Although it's relatively smooth until the end, it finishes with a tongue slap. There's an unusual sweetness to it that dissipates with the bite. For a bock, this is pretty intense, the wasatch brew pub brewers don't talk a cheap game. Unlike Tebow, the brewers decided to bring it. This intense brew would pair well with red meat or game, especially with elk beside a roaring fire. Ron Burgondy would do it. ARMAGEDDON rating.
