BEER – Monteith’s Doppelbock Winter Ale

I’m quite a fan of the Monteith’s range, particularly given the quite modest prices and wide availability. Happy to call this another solidly drinkable instalment.

What I particularly like is that it’s a true Bock (and I say that as a Bock fan) with chocolatey richness set in a slightly sweet frame. Creamy, smooth and deliciously warming, it’s a drink-in-front-of-the-fire type winter beer. It’s still a commercial brew, so it doesn’t have the sort of complexity of flavour that the carefully filtered micro-brewery beers carry, but it’s still a satisfying drink. Good stuff.
