Doppelmärzen

Tap to rate

Full amber with a rich head. Malt rules the scent, with gentle notes of nuts, almonds and honey; in the taste the hops are more noticeable, yet the sweetness of the grain does not take a back seat, and the finish is harmonious. Built on Vienna malt and Žatecký poloraný červeňák. Historically a doppelmärzen was simply a stronger Märzen, not twice as strong and well short of doppelbock.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with clean malt character—Vienna malt provides a soft, grain-forward foundation with distinct notes of roasted nuts and almonds. Honey and light toasted grain emerge in the mid-range, while noble hops contribute a restrained, herbal presence that does not overwhelm the malt framework. The overall impression is harmonious and inviting, with no sharp or off-putting elements.

◐ Taste

Sweet grain dominates the entry, with Vienna malt and the Žatecký poloraný červeňák hops working in tandem to build a full body. Mid-palate reveals caramel undertones and a smooth, bready quality that sustains the malt sweetness. Hop bitterness gradually emerges without asserting dominance, creating a well-balanced counterpoint that extends into a clean, dry finish.

◑ Finish

The finish is harmonious and moderately long, with lingering sweetness from the grain and a gentle hop dryness that cleans the palate. No harshness or astringency; the aftertaste remains pleasant and malty throughout.

What is a Märzen?

Märzens are Bavarian lagers with 5.8–6.3% ABV. Rich toasty malt — bread, caramel, biscuit — with clean lager fermentation and low bitterness.
