Dock Street Brewery Illuminator
What the brewers say
“Decoction-brewed with German Munich and specialty malts.”
What our panel thought
“Unassuming nose, but a fantastic malt profile—layers of toasted coconut, dried fruit leather, and toast, yet not particularly sweet or heavy. Bread crust and cooked sugar. Clean, balanced bitterness on the finish with some sneaky smooth alcoholic heat. Full-bodied, but transitions to a lingering, lightly bitter finish.”
What our editors thought
“Strong malt and floral-hop notes in the nose. A touch of woody and tannic bite in the sip balances the malt sweetness while the hops fade.”
