About this beer
This is the 122nd of 151 labels we have from The Bruery. It is one of 6 smoked beer labels approved in July 2026. Its label was approved 1 day after it was submitted.
A baroque shield shape with a magenta scalloped border frames the label's central field, which features dark brown woodgrain texture visible behind white and red lettering. The Bruery's script logo sits at top in white script, followed by the beer name in bold white and red caps, with a smaller descriptive line below. Dark brown dominates the field while cream and magenta form the outer frame. The back label repeats the beer name in bold red caps with a magenta border, set above regulatory and tasting notes in serif and sans-serif black type.
From the label“When mastery calls, you answer with your favorite style. Doppelbock Forever celebrates Scott's Master Cicerone achievement with a smoked doppelbock lager brewed with maple syrup. Aromas of smoked honeycomb, brown bread, and maple rise first, followed by notes of toasted crust, pumpernickel, and smoked graham cracker. Medium-full bodied with a balanced finish.”
