🌍 Czech Republic · Doppelbock · One of 33 Doppelbocks in hopIQ

24 Double is a very strong dark special beer of 10.5 %, brewed from 24 degrees of original gravity and produced since 1999. Pilsner, wheat, Munich, caramel and colour malts give a dark garnet colour and a dense, sweet body. Caramel, dried plums and chocolate dominate aroma and palate, joined by syrupy toffee and warming alcohol, while Saaz and Sládek hops leave only a subtle bitterness. The brewery itself calls it difficult to place in any single beer category.

Deep garnet to dark brown, opaque and saturated. The head is dense and persistent, clinging to the glass with fine lacework. Carbonation is moderate, befitting the beer's weight and alcohol content.

Aroma

Rich and inviting, dominated by dark chocolate and caramel sweetness. Dried plum and stone fruit notes emerge beneath, with gentle warming alcohol in the background. Saaz and Sládek hops contribute only subtle herbal whispers, allowing the malt character to dominate.

Taste

Full-bodied and malty on entry, with chocolate and caramel forming the core. Mid-palate develops syrupy toffee and dark fruit complexity, while the 10.5% alcohol adds warming and slight thickness. Bitterness from noble hops remains restrained at 21 IBU, never overwhelming the sweet, rich foundation.

Long and smooth, with lingering chocolate and toffee notes fading gradually into a gentle alcohol warmth. The aftertaste remains clean and malty, without astringency or harshness.
