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%.

Dark brown with thin head. Aroma and flavour have a certain herbal background which is not so nice. More pleasant notes of cocoa and bittersweet malts come to the rescue.

Bottle from Burg Bieren, BB 09/2015, large sample. Clear copper color, short frothy light-brown head. Aroma is slight roasted, caramel, autumn leaves, slight earthy hop. Soft caramelly sweetness in a typical Doppelbock way, toffee. Slight unclean yeast. Dominant malts, which is key for the style. Medium carbonation, body on the thin side. Slight alcohol touch. Decent beer.
