Doppelbock·Germany·7.5% ABV·One of 107 Doppelbocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Bauhöfer Winterbock's caramel and full-bodied character. Caramel and cherry dominate the aroma, joined by liquorice, roasted notes and a hint of vanilla; mild honey sweetness and noble hop bitterness round off a powerful body, and the finish is big and warming. A fiery red, spicy double bock with purple highlights, once brewed as food for the fasting season: 18.7 % original gravity, 7.5 % ABV.
