Double Elephant

Tap to rate

A double IPA whose doubled strength, as the brewery puts it, comes from a combination of Beskydy water, malts from the Haná region and Czech and American hops. Premiant, Cascade and Bravo are used over Pilsner, Vienna, Munich and caramel malts, at 18° Plato.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Double Elephant

◎ Appearance

Deep golden to amber hue, displaying the richness of Vienna and Munich malts. The beer presents good clarity with a modest white head that holds briefly before settling into a fine ring of lacing around the glass. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with assertive American hop character—Cascade and Bravo deliver citrus and subtle herbal notes. Beneath this lies a warming malt foundation of caramel sweetness and light toasted grain from the Vienna and Munich malts. The overall impression is balanced between hop forward aromatics and supportive malt complexity.

◐ Taste

Entry brings immediate hop bitterness tempered by the beer's full body and malt sweetness. Mid-palate develops layers of caramel and Vienna malt character alongside persistent but measured bitterness (35 IBU). The Pilsner base and higher gravity (18° Plato) provide structure and a subtle fruity undertone that prevents the beer from becoming one-dimensional.

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
