Double Love Honey Doppelbock

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to chestnut brown, clear and bright with excellent light transmission. A thick, tan head forms readily and clings persistently to the glass walls, leaving a trail of lacing with each sip. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced toffee and caramel sweetness, layered with dried stone fruits—plum and fig—and a subtle honey character. Beneath these lie notes of toasted Malz, contributing warmth and depth. No harsh alcohol vapors; instead, the 9.5% ABV integrates smoothly into the overall aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

Rich and full-bodied on entry, with immediate caramel and plum flavors that coat the palate generously. Mid-palate develops layers of fig, honey, and a faint warming alcohol note without harshness. Bitterness remains restrained at 22 IBU, allowing the malt sweetness to dominate; finish is smooth and malty, with only gentle drying.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and warming, with lingering caramel and a subtle honey aftertaste. Alcohol warmth becomes more apparent in the final moments, though never burning or unbalanced.
