There’s nothing quite like a rich, malty amber ale with just the right touch of hops. They’re well balanced, tasty, satisfying and perfectly carbonated. Long Trail Brewing Co’s “Double Bag” strong ale is all of the above.

At about $8.50 for a six pack, you’re not only getting a superb beer, you’re also getting an above average alcohol content: 7.2%. True bang for your buck.

Double Bag is medium boddied, but surprisingly drinkable. There’s a touch of caramel and strong nutty flavor. It finishes with a pleasant touch of piney hops and has a long lasting dark fruit and brown sugar aftertaste. The head is bone white and sticks around at about one finger tall for most of the experience. This is due to a perfect medium carbonation.

The bottle states that the beer is a “double alt” or “stickebeir,” which is German slang for “secret brew.” It’s basically a strong ale, so call it what you want; it’s tasty and carries a bigger kick than most six packs.
