I think wheat doppel-bocks my be my favorite variety of beer. So light, so flavorful. They have that banana flavor without being taken over by it, I could drink this beer for breakfast- I bet it’d be great with a chocolate doughnut. It has all the flavors ranging from bubble gum to a pot roast but they all come together so subtly nothing kicks you in the mouth. But why is this beer made for Lent you may ask? Well, traditional doppelbocks were made by Bavarian Monks. During Lent while they were fasting they would drink this beer because it was much richer in calories than a lighter lager. Now this is a wheat version but it is still dark malty and gives you energy! It can be easily found at a good beer store or often in a high-class bodega. Aventinus- by Schneider Brewery- the beer for a high holiday.
