This refined doppelbock was inspired by Paulaner am Nockherberg’s “Starkbierfest” (“strong beer festival”) in Munich. It pours a deep mahogany color and is characterized by layers if dark fruit, toffee, and baked bread on the palate. It’s marked by a rich malt character and finishes smooth with light alcohol warming.

Can (3/3/25) from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Nearly opaque, murky, dark iced-tea brown with tons of sparkle, quickly fading thin head and no lacing. Aroma is dark fruit, brown bread, baked bread. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, medium bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste with mild bitterness to counteract sweet malts. Excellent strength and decent complexity. Lovely.

Canned 3/3/25, drunk 4/26/25.
Clear and dark. Deep amber-caramel-ruby. Large, dark beige head with good retention.
Big aromatics pouring off this thing. Smells excellent as I pour it. Rich caramel and bread with deep malts and good melanoidin-like acidity to balance. No booze.
Rich, malty, deep, drying out nicely on the finish with waves of caramel, toffee, rum raisin and crusty brown bread. Doppelbocks are one of the more challenging beers to score, at least for me. Tough to find a balance between lager-like drinkability, rich, deep malts, balancing acidity, dryness, breadiness. Here it feels quite balanced. Very rich up front with fruitiness and acidity leading to a dry, quite lean finish. Maybe could use more complexity than just the rather monotonous caramel/toffee of the malt? Still very rich and satisfying.

16 oz can. Aroma is toffee, raisins, yeast. Flavor follows with a mild warming finish. A pretty decent malt backbone. Good.

Pours garnet-tinged mahogany into a willi. Mocha head with medium retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Prune and fig aromas. Thick with sweet raisin bread, fig and dare upfront turning to hot molasses in the warm, lasting finish.
