Krenkerup Doppel Bock

◎ Aussehen

Deep copper-brown with amber undertones, reflecting the 20 SRM roast profile. The body shows excellent clarity with a dense, persistent head that clings to the glass in fine lacework. Moderate carbonation supports the visual weight without excessive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

Roasted rye bread and dark chocolate dominate the nose, supported by candied chestnut sweetness and caramel undertones. The eleven weeks of lagering have integrated the malt character into a cohesive bouquet with no harsh alcohol bite. Noble hop notes add subtle spice without assertiveness.

◐ Geschmack

Full-bodied and silky on the palate, with caramel and roasted malt providing the framework. Mid-palate sweetness from the extensive lagering balances cleanly against moderate bitterness (27 IBU), while cocoa and bread crust notes linger. The 8.3% alcohol sits seamlessly within the structure, providing warmth without harshness.

◑ Abgang

Clean and substantial, with dry roasted notes emerging as the sweetness recedes. The finish extends with chocolate and bread character, leaving a gentle warmth across the palate.
