Flying Dog Disobedience Dubbel Bottling [Video]
Disobedience Dubbel is the first of Flying Dog’s Brewhouse Rarities beers to hit bottles. Grab a new found appreciation for corked and caged bottles with this video. Each is filled, corked & caged by hand. (For the most part. It isn’t fully automated…)
Victory Plans 2nd Barrel Aged Beer “Otto In Oak”
When Victory Brewing said they were done with Dark Intrigue, it was rumored they would be barrel aging other offerings. Here’s a pretty obvious clue – Otto. The brewery released Otto last year – a smoked Belgian style dubbel. As it looks now, the brewery has intentions of barrel aging (or is already barrel aging) Otto for release in the future.
The spirit of St. Otto of Bamberg inspired us to create a smoky, Belgian-style dubbel ale featuring the beechwood kilned malts of his home. As we feasted on the deep, exotic flavors within our creation, the German bischop’s siren song once again tempted us. The whispers of St. Otto’s ghost, combined with our enjoyment of that ale, lured us to go a step further and age our Otto Ale in once- used bourbon barrels. What has emerged certainly tastes heaven-sent to us!

Dogfish Head (Tentatively) Bottling Urkontinent
Not too much of a surprise as Dogfish Head had Urkontinent on the 2012 schedule, but with no release date. This worldly offering is a techie collaboration with a fairly unknown company called Google. Do a Yahoo search to find out who they are. The beer is styled after a Belgian dubbel, using a host of worldly ingredients. It was released last year at the brewpub. The video below gives you all you need to know about this “feedback” based beer.
URKontinent is brewed in the style of a Belgian Dubbel. It begins with Pilsner, Munich and Chocolate Malts and Belgian Dark Candi syrup. Then we add unique ingredients from around the world. Wattleseed from Australia imparts a chocolate, coffee, and hazelnut taste to the beer. Toasted Amaranth from South America gives it an earthy, grainy flavor and a little additional roast flavor. Green Rooibos from Africa contributes a floral aroma and slight astringency. Myrica Gale from Europe supplements the bitterness from minimal hopping. Hive Plex Honey from California adds a subtle sweetness while maintaining the dry finish.The careful combination of all these ingredients creates a complex dark Belgian style ale with wonderful coffee and chocolate covered cherry flavors. The roastiness of the malt and wattleseed melds with the fruity esters from the yeast, the floral notes from the rooibos, and the malty yet dry signature of a Belgian Dubbel. Perfect to enjoy with friends as the weather begins to cool.
Let’s look at what the hell these ingredients are:
Amaranth – the grain is gluten free, and has an earthy/nutty flavor. South America
Rooibos – Part of the legume family. Adds a bit of astringency to this beer. Africa.
Myrica Gale – Also called bog myrtle. Perfumey and floral. European origin.
Honey – Comes from bees. California bees to be exact. Google bees. See video.
Wattle Seeds – Australia. Adds chocolate & coffee flavors

Availability: 750ml bottles, Draft.
