Donzoko means rock bottom. Our yearly Doppelbock release is a rich, decadent dark lager. Complex malt and herbal German hops play off each other, best served on a proper cold day.
2019's version is hopped with Hersbucker, and fermented on 130g/L Cherry Pureé.

Murky reddish brown beer, thick fioamy head. Smokey malt aroma with tangy fruit. The flavour is just light, tart cherry on top of a normal doppelbock but it's balanced beautifully. The cherries aren't overpowering and you still get the big, rich maltiness and neither cancels the other out. A little hoppiness comes through in the finish too. There's loads going on and I like it a lot.
