Einst brauten die Hanse-Kaufleute ein besonders starkes Bier für den Export in alle Welt. Die Bayern übernahmen diese Idee und die Franken veredelten das ehemals „Einbeck‘sche“ Bier zu dem Genussbier, das es heute ist. Die Bockbierzeit ist bei uns die fünfte Jahreszeit, in der die Brauer ihre beste Braukunst zeigen – so wie wir, mit unserem Starken Löwen.

(Draught at Foersters Feine Biere, Steglitz, Berlin, 9 May 2019) Amber colour with lasting, rocky, off-white head. Malty nose with bread, orange peel, toast, toffee and mandarin. Malty taste with notes of bread, caramel, orange marmalade, apricots and a mild spicy bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Well balanced and warming. Quite nice.

Amber with a tall, frothy head. Mild herbal aroma with apple cider tones. Taste is bittersweet up front, trends rapidly bitter though and finishes with a dry, sustained bitterness. Overly hopped for a Doppelbock by my preference—am missing the sweeter, caramel and toffee tones I like to find in a beer of this style. Fruitiness is minimal. It feels grainy and harsh. Medium body with mild carbonation. Still drinkable.

Zum Löwenbräu Starker Löwe, Flasche von Hopfen & Malz, Berlin (woher sonst?). - Mittleres Rotbraun, leicht trüb. - In der Nase frisches Getreide, feines Karamelmalz, leicht alkoholgetränkte süße Frucht (Rumtopf), Orangeat und Kräuter, alles rund und stimmig zusammengebunden. - Antrunk intensiv malzig mit zarten Karamel- und Honignoten und unmittelbar einsetzender frischer aber runder herbaler Herbe mit leichter Orangenschale. Dezente, runde Malzsüße. Mild rezent, vollmundig, sahnig; perfekt eingebundener Alkohol. Im Abgang milde orangenschalig-kräuterige Hopfenherbe. - Unglaublich runder, dabei frischer und nirgends plumper Doppelbock - ganz außerordentlich! Hier zeigt der Löwenbräu wirklich seine beste Braukunst.

(bottle) Clear, deep golden colour with a medium-sized and minimally off-white foamy head. Bready malty aroma with notes of honey, a tinge of caramel, as well as mildly spicy and slightly flowery hops. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, full bodied with a soft carbonation. Solid and slightly bready malty base with traces of caramel, subtle honey-fruity notes and a drying herbal hoppy touch towards the slightly boozey finish. Strong stuff. 24.V.18

€-Fläschla: Deep golden,almost clear, small - stable and lacy - off-white head; moderate bitter-sweet nose of grains, pale malt and strawy hops with mild barnyardy traces, molecular traces of alcohol in the background; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, nearly full bodied and pretty soft; lingering herbal-hoppy and pale-malty finish. A well balanced and well hopped Doppelbock. Reliable franconian quality...
