Doppelbock 7.5 º

ABK Aktienbrauerei Kaufbeuren

The ABK Buronator is a profound expression of the Doppelbock style, pouring a deep mahogany with brilliant ruby highlights. The sensory journey begins with an intense malt-forward bouquet, rich in Maillard products, toasted bread crusts, and subtle dark fruit notes of plum and raisin. On the palate, the experience is viscous and decadent, dominated by layers of Munich-style malt sweetness that provide a velvety texture. Well-integrated hops provide a whisper of balance against the substantial malt core, maintaining a clean German lager profile. A hint of dark chocolate emerges in the mid-palate, leading to a smooth, warming finish that exemplifies traditional Bavarian strength.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark brown in color with brilliant clarity and distinct ruby highlights when held to the light. It supports a large, creamy, and persistent off-white head with good lacing.

Aroma. Very strong malt intensity featuring deeply toasted grain and significant Maillard products. Moderate dark fruit esters reminiscent of plums or fruit leather are present. Virtually no hop aroma is detectable, and the alcohol presence is clean and moderately low.

Taste. Rich, complex maltiness dominates the palate with flavors of toasted bread and a faint, non-roasted chocolate character. The hop bitterness is moderately low, allowing the malt to remain the primary focus. While the initial impression is sweet, the beer is well-attenuated, finishing clean without being cloying. Subtle dark grape and plum esters complement the malt profile.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture and no traces of astringency. Carbonation is moderately low, and a light, pleasant alcohol warmth is noted on the swallow.
