Beers similar to Detmolder Bourbon Chardonnay

Privat-Brauerei Strate

Doppelbock·Germany·7.5% ABV·One of 95 Doppelbocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Detmolder Bourbon Chardonnay's caramel and full-bodied character. Cream caramel, vanilla and whisky cask wood meet the wine-fruity Chardonnay hop with caramel, toffee and forest honey; the first sip shows a full, fruity body while the wood notes linger longest. This doppelbock matures in bourbon barrels, and its 7.5 % ABV at 18 °P gives the dessert beer volume. Copper-bright, with a firm, compact, creamy head.
