Pyraser Ultra

Tap to rate

A dark Doppelbock and, at 8.3 % alcohol, the strongest beer in the range; available for a short time from mid-November. The brewery makes it by double-mash brewing to reach 18.5 °P. Bottom-fermented and filtered, it pours chestnut brown with a creamy, firm, slightly copper-tinged head. Pilsner, Munich and caramel malts deliver a rounded, malty flavour with a gentle caramel note, joined by a pleasant floral hop character from Perle, Hersbrucker and Saphir. Powerful, smooth and warming; best sipped at 10 to 13 °C.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Pyraser Ultra

◎ Appearance

Pours a deep chestnut brown with excellent clarity and fine particle suspension. The head is creamy and firm, with a subtle copper tinge that catches the light; retention is strong and leaves a persistent lace of fine bubbles against the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, contributing to the overall refined presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with rounded, biscuity malt character from the Pilsner and Munich malts, underscored by a soft caramel sweetness. Noble hop varieties—Perle, Hersbrucker, and Saphir—contribute a delicate floral and herbal quality that balances the malt without dominating. The overall impression is warm and inviting, with no sharp or aggressive edges.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with the malt foundation asserting itself immediately through toffee and light chocolate notes. The mid-palate sustains this malty backbone while the gentle caramel sweetness develops further, accompanied by restrained floral and herbal hop bitterness that sits at 30 IBU—enough to provide structure without drying the beer. The alcohol warmth at 8.3% ABV integrates seamlessly, enhancing rather than overwhelming the complex malt profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and warming, with the malt sweetness lingering alongside a subtle herbal and floral fade from the Edelhopfen. The aftertaste remains smooth and rounded, with no harsh tannins or sharp edges; a pleasant warmth persists in the chest.
