This world famous bock from Bavaria’s Holy Mountain is not meant to be rushed, but savoured slowly. As solid as a rock, Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel presides over the evening meal with a colour reminiscent of dark copper with nuances of fiery red. Its clear gleaming look harmonises with its firm, fine pored head.
Also the aroma delights the connoisseur: soft roasted accents and a nuance of dried fruit carrying a vein of caramel. This Doppelbock Dunkel from Bavaria’s Holy Mountain presents a pleasant effervescence. And then there’s the unmistakable flavour: mouthcoating and velvety, strong and yet pleasantly malty – a powerful, robust body. At the same time, it develops an easily recognisable sweetness, embraced in roasted cocoa and a light, bitter hoppiness.
Concluding with a powerful punch, this Doppelbock departs with a lingering aftertaste of quality plain chocolate. A strong Doppelbock that embodies the centuries old Benedictine brewing tradition, sip by delicious sip (original extract: 18.5%, abv: over 7.0%).

Recently, Tried this on a trip to europe, at the Andech’s Monastary. This is now the best beer I have ever tasted. In my opinion this is the most under-rated beers on the entire web site. Nice malty flavor. Smells like paradise. Everyone who loves dark beers has to try this one once in there life.

Bottle from the LCBO. Cole coloured pour, with a medium beige head. Very malty, dark, semi sweet, nutty cereals, hints of sherry. Light mouth feel, solid carb. Low to medium bitter, roasty, toasty finish, light coffee, loads of malts, no hops. Fantastic example of the style.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is brown and dark malts with caramel, brown sugar, light roast, touch of dried fruits. Flavour is medium sweet and light bitter. Body is medium. Solid Doppelbock, a bit too thin to rank among the greats.

Mächtige, stabile Schaumkrone, dunkelbraune Farbe mit roten Reflexen, in der Nase malzig mit Dörrobst und etwas Bitterschokolade, im Geschmack mit relativ kräftigem Körper, dunkelmalzig, auch etwas Röstmalz, Trockenfrüchte, leichte Süße, deutliche Hopfenbittere. Insgesamt kein herausragender, aber ein sehr solider Doppelbock.

Богатое на вкус и оттенки пиво. Аромат встречает нас запахов кофе и чернослива. При глотке вкус буквально меняется ежесекундно. Тут и кофе и шоколад , сухофрукты и жженая карамель. Приятное сладко-жженое послевкусие. К сожалению достаточно сильно чувствуется алкоголь. Быстро выветривается.
