Just as the previous few years we brewed a doppelbock to accompany our classic autumn special, the IJbok. The base is always a solid amount of malt but otherwise this seasonal heavyweight has a different recipe every year. This time, we opted for outspoken malt varieties to define its character. The use of Munchener malt results in its full, malty flavor, whereas the German rauch malt deepens its complexity. This is a beer with a smoky edge and as strong as you like it to be in stormy weather: 9,5%.

Aroma of malt, caramel, raisins, dark fruit, brown sugar, clove. Flavour is medium sweet with a bittersweet finish. Somewhat sticky, with a touch of alcohol in the finish. Good Dubbelbock.

Si cette Dubbelbok n'est pas désagréable, c'est tout de même electrogramme plat du côté des émotions avec une bière relativement plate. En verre, nous sommes sur un brun sans mousse et quasiment sans effervescence. Le nez est appréciable sur le raisin, caramel, candy, figue, orange amère et tabac. Mais en bouche c'est plutôt plat, avec des corpulence et longueurs honorables (sans être exceptionnelles) mais sans réelles variations. L'attaque est relativement houblonnée, amenant de la fraîcheur sur des arômes simples sur le candy, le zest d'orange et de légères épices. En deuxième bouche, on retrouve les arômes du nez, plus intéressant mais sans variations. L’arrière-bouche est sur un alcool faisant plus que ses 8,5 % et donnant un peu de caractère à l'inverse du final, doux, manquant de tonus. Un peu d'émotions serait bienvenu.

*rating overgezet* Fles thuis geprobeerd. Het is een roodbruin bier met een medium schuimkraag. Het aroma van mout en caramel. De smaak is moutig, caramel achtig en zoet.

Real solid! Lightly smoked, nice and roasty, creamy and thick. Coming close to a classic Rauchbock. 't IJ should do more like this.

(Bottle, Brouwerij ’t IJ, Amsterdam, 23 Feb 2017) Dark brown colour with hints of ruby. Frothy beige head. Malty nose with roasted grain, prunes and sweet liquorice. Malty, slightly roasted taste with notes of caramel, liquorice, dark fruit, black rye bread and a balanced spicy bitterness. Almost full body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced, but not lacking a certain punch. Nice one.

Bottle @ home. Clear red-brown color, small to average sized beige head. Smell and taste malts, some caramel, leaves, lightly toffee, moderate to medium sweet. Average body and carbonation. Ok beer.
