Duits & Lauret Dubbelbock

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany-brown with an opaque, unfiltered body that speaks to its craft origins. The dense, tan head clings to the glass with persistent lacing, while gentle carbonation creates a measured fizz that underscores the beer's contemplative character.

◌ Aroma

Smoke dominates the nosing, wrapping around notes of dark plum and preserved stone fruit. Beneath lies a woody undertone—evidence of the oak maturation—while fragrant Noble hops add a subtle herbal fullness that prevents the beer from becoming one-dimensional.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens full-bodied and malty, with caramel and roasted grain supporting the primary smoke character. Plum and wood continue through the mid-palate, balanced by a restrained but assertive bittering (22 IBU) that provides structure without overwhelming. The 7.5% ABV carries warmth without harshness, creating a rich, smooth drinking experience.

◑ Abgang

The finish lingers with smoke and oak drying the palate, leaving behind a gentle warming sensation and a whisper of dark fruit. A sophisticated aftertaste that rewards slow appreciation.
