Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Doppelbock
◎ Appearance
Deep chestnut brown with warm mahogany highlights, revealing excellent clarity beneath a modest but persistent foam collar. The color speaks to the Munich and Cara malts' gentle kilning, while the head clings dutifully to the glass rim with fine lacing.
◌ Aroma
Molasses and dark bread crust dominate the nose, grounded by the low-noble Perle and Hallertau hopping—restrained and herbaceous rather than floral. Behind these lies a distinct fruit depth: stewed plum and black cherry, with an unexpected whisper of orange peel that lifts the otherwise earthy foundation.
◐ Taste
The palate is full and malt-forward, opening with chocolate and caramel sweetness anchored by Cara 60 and 160 malts. The 30 IBU arrives as a gentle check rather than a bite, allowing the dark fruit and faint citrus notes to unfold mid-palate without obstruction. Residual sweetness remains substantial, yet the beer never cloys.
◑ Finish
Long and warming, the alcohol announces itself as gentle heat rather than sharp bite. The aftertaste holds true to the malt-led profile, leaving traces of molasses and bread crust that linger into the final moments.
