Doppel Bock

Tap to rate

A very full-bodied strong beer, mild and sweet at first, with dried-fruit-like malt notes. It has a powerful body and a pronounced hop bitterness. The brewery recalls that bock beers originate in monastic history, where a rich, filling beer was brewed to keep up strength during periods of fasting, since liquid does not break the fast.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced dried-fruit character—raisins and dark stone fruit—layered beneath a rich, toasted Malz foundation. Noble hops provide subtle herbal restraint and a whisper of spice, while the alcohol warmth is evident but not harsh, adding complexity without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is sweetly malty with caramel undertones, then transitions to a powerful, full body sustained throughout the palate. Bitterness builds steadily in the mid-palate—pronounced and clean—balancing the rich malt sweetness. The beer finishes dry and gripping, with lingering dark-fruit notes and a controlled alcohol warmth.
