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%.

On tap at PINT BBF’13. Clear dark reddish-amber colour, creamy light-beige head. Aroma of cocoa powder, sweet malts, somewhat chocolate-like, IJ-yeast. Flavour is medium-sweet, a little cloying, light spicy, cocoa powder, malts, yeast, light-bitter finish. Light-bodied. I think they switched the kegs with the regular IJbok, because this was not darker nor more alcoholic/heavier in any sense. Not bad, but if this was the Dubbelbok, than it lacks a whole lot of everything. 636312 Re-rate from bottle. Dark brown colour, beige head. Aroma of roasted malts, IJ yeast, burnt caramel, caramel, light fruity. Flavour is fruity, yeasty, burnt caramel, roasted malts, nuts, light-bitter finish. Medium bodied, soft carbonation. That’s more like it. 738314
