Schremser Doppelmalz

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown with mahogany highlights, the Doppelmalz presents a dark, translucent body that speaks to its malt-forward character. A modest, cream-colored head forms and recedes quickly, leaving delicate lacing. Carbonation is restrained, creating a still, contemplative pour typical of traditional Dunkel brewings.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with warm spice—clove and subtle black pepper—layered over soft bread crust and caramel undertones. Mineral notes emerge from the soft Waldviertel water, adding a refined earthiness. Hop presence is understated, allowing the malt complexity and spice to lead the aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

Full-bodied and smooth on entry, the palate develops a malty sweetness with hints of dark fruit—plum and raisin—balanced by gentle roasted grain and a whisk of bready character. Bitterness remains low and polite, never assertive, while a clean mineral spine from the primary-rock water runs through the mid-palate. The finish is dry without harshness, allowing malt and spice to linger evenly.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste is restrained and graceful, fading with lingering notes of caramel malt and a whisper of spice. A smooth, slightly grainy dryness persists without any astringency.
