Sunday, it was finally time to keg the doppelbock. This is a recipe I created and brewed last year, and was a favorite of mine, and friends and family alike, so I decided to brew it again. To add a little something extra to this 7.25% doppelbock, I added some fresh roasted Starbuck's Caramel Coffee to top off the keg.
This brew won't be ready to drink in time for the Super Bowl, but will be ready for samples at the next Beers to You, on March 3rd.

Went to Single Speed Brewing in Cedar Falls on Saturday with my brother in-law Jared, and his wife Johanna. She dropped us off at the bar for awhile before joining us for a beer cocktail. I had to put this picture on here, because, I found out this was her first ever drink at a bar!
I tried a Snowshoe ale and an Imperial Red. Both beers were extremely tasty. You could really taste the chocolate overtones in the Snowshoe ale. The Imperial Red was excellent and very smooth for a 7.5% brew.
This is a picture of my beer cocktail. A mixture of an Imperial Stout from Peace Tree Brewing, some bourbon from Cedar Ridge Distillery, and some cherry flavoring. The bourbon really came through after the drink warmed and opened up. I would absolutely have another one of these.
Iowa is quickly becoming a great place to enjoy craft brewed beers and liquors. Here's a few links from my sampling this past weekend.
