Bock Rammer

Tap to rate

A big, bold doppelbock built on deep malt and caramel, rich and persistent. At 7.8% ABV it is a heavy hitter with an autumnal air. The brewery calls brave souls to dive headfirst into stormy seas and not to fear the dark. It is brewed in Rotterdam by Stadshaven, in the restored fruit warehouse that houses the brewery.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bock Rammer

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to brown, with a dense and persistent head that clings to the glass in fine lacing. The body shows excellent clarity despite its dark complexion, and carbonation forms fine bubbles that rise steadily through the liquid.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced caramel and toasted malt notes, underpinned by subtle dark fruit character—raisin and dried plum. A restrained alcohol warmth appears on the second nose, adding depth without dominating the malty foundation.

◐ Taste

The palate is rich and full-bodied, with caramel sweetness and deep malt complexity building through the mid-palate. At 22 IBU, bitterness is minimal and serves only to balance the generous malt character. The 7.8% ABV sits warm and smooth on the tongue, with no sharp edges.
