DOPPELBOCK
Available: SPRING
Description:
Inspired by the Bavarian tradition. A malty dark lager with notes of toasted malt and dark fruits.
The Doppelbock style beer was originally made by Paulaner monks in Munich, Germany. At the time, German beer was intended to be consumed as liquid bread during the long fasting periods of the Lenten season. This version was generally sweeter, less attenuated, lower in alcohol, and given the name "liquid bread". Today's Doppelbock is certainly an antecedent of the original ecclesiastical Bavarian-inspired brew.
ABV: 9.0% / IBU: 16
AVAILABLE IN: 16oz cans, Sixtels, Kegs
TASTING NOTES:
Appearance: Pours a brilliantly clear dark amber with a large, persistent beige head that leaves a lasting lace.
Aroma: Greeted with a high ester of fruity raisin and fig blended with spice and complimentary bready malt character and toffee. A welcoming whisper of alcohol cuts through.
Flavor: A rich malty brew with good attenuation and a moderate warm alcohol presence. Clean with notes of fruity raisin, spice, and toasted malt. The Malt takes the spotlight.
Mouthfeel: A full-bodied brew with a smooth creaminess, moderate carbonation, and no astringency. A little alcohol warmth hints at the high ABV.
