🌍 Germany · Doppelbock · One of 49 Doppelbocks in hopIQ

The Doppelbock of the house, brewed to an original gravity of 18.5 °P from pale and dark barley malt, dark caramel malt and roasted malt with Spalter aroma hops. It is mahogany-coloured, unfiltered and powerful in body. The aroma brings together candied exotic fruit with roasty and woody notes. The taste is intense and grain-driven, and it ends on toffee, coffee and burnt almonds. Hop bitterness stays restrained, so the roasted grain carries the finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Impulsator

◎ Appearance

Mahogany-hued with a full, persistent head and fine lacing that clings to the glass. The beer presents itself unfiltered with visible suspended matter, creating a naturally hazy appearance that speaks to its traditional brewing approach. Carbonation is moderate, appropriate to the style's body and weight.

◌ Aroma

The nose balances candied tropical fruit notes—apricot and fig—against deeper roasted grain aromas. Beneath the fruit lies a woody undertone that complements subtle Spalter hop character without dominance. The overall impression is rich and inviting, with caramel sweetness threading through the composition.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and malty, driven by the depth of pale and dark barley malts layered with dark caramel and roasted malts. Mid-palate develops with grain-forward intensity and subtle sweetness, while hop bitterness remains low and well-integrated. The finish transitions into toffee, coffee, and burnt almond character, with roasted malt providing structure through to the aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is long and lingering, dominated by roasted malt and coffee notes that gradually fade to subtle char and wood. The lack of aggressive hop bite allows the toasted grain character to define the close, creating a warming, contemplative finish.
