🌍 Germany · Doppelbock · One of 43 Doppelbocks in hopIQ

Löwenbräu Triumphator is the brewery's dark Doppelbock, the strong beer poured each Lent at the Löwenbräukeller and revived under this name after the First World War. It pours a clear chestnut to mahogany brown with a tan head. The aroma combines toasted and caramel malt with notes of plum and raisin. On the palate it is full and spicy, with dark bread crust, light chocolate and a warming sweetness, balanced by a moderate bitterness that carries into a long, rich finish.
