Doble

Tap to rate

A doppelbock of deep red colour with notes of cereal and hazelnut and a slight hint of liquorice. The body is silky and the malt sweetness pronounced, but a German hopping leaves a light bitterness on the finish that balances it. The strength of 7.5% stays in the background, and the beer drinks more easily than the figure suggests.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced cereal and toasted grain notes, followed by a subtle hazelnut character that adds warmth and depth. A whisper of liquorice rounds the aromatic profile without overwhelming, while noble hops contribute a soft, herbal background that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth with a silky body and pronounced malt sweetness that fills the mid-palate with caramel and grain complexity. German noble hopping provides a light but measured bitterness on the finish that cuts through the richness without aggression, leaving the beer remarkably drinkable despite its 7.5% strength remaining well-concealed.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with the herbal bite from noble hops lingering gracefully. The residual malt character fades to a dry, warming aftertaste that invites another sip.
