Doubledog

At first glance, I thought this said "Douchebag"

I will definitely have to try this though, any ideas when exactly?

I like turbodog and strawberry... I imagine this would be good too

Can we get more info? What does the Double refer to? Will it be bottled, hopefully in the bomber bottles? Or will it be just the limited release couple of keg promotions at selected bars?

I think they had it at The Tap Room a week ago as a promotion but i'm not certain.

That was probably the Black IPA.

"Doubledog" makes it sound like an imperial version of the Turbodog, and they've done a vanilla turbodog before, so probably just a really strong turbodog with vanilla.

I'll definitely give it a try.

I hope they bottle it... although I'll find a way to try it either way, unless it's like the Vanilla Turbodog release madhouse.

Headed to bombers & draft this summer. The description says it best.

From the Label:
Turbog dog is the inspiration for this robust dark ale with rich flavors of chocolate, toffee, and vanilla. It is brewed with generous amounts of pale, caramel, and chocolate malts, and Willamette hops. Whole natural vanilla beans are added during the aging process.
