Meantime were there in the early days. They are one of the breweries that defined craft beer in the UK. The name comes from the fact that they are based in Greenwich, "home of time" They produce some truly lovely beers and I have been drinking them for many years. This brewery never disappoints.
Doppelbock literally means double beer, it usually refers to a rich lager which sometimes feels a bit like a meal in a glass. There is a history around it being a form of sustenance during the Lent fast and when one tastes this beer it is not difficult to understand.
On the nose it smells a bit rustic and like it is going to be a challenge. This beer fronts up as a proper beer lovers tipple, it demands respect and a bit of concentration. In the mouth it is rich and sweet and a bit malty with a definite alcohol hit (8%). This is a grown up beer and even the name makes a point
