Doppelbock 9 º

Ægir Bryggeri

Ægir Bryggeri JuleBokk is a luxurious example of a dark Doppelbock, meticulously crafted for the holiday season. The heart of the beer lies in a rich, deeply layered malt profile where Munich and Vienna malts contribute intense aromas of toasted bread, dark caramel, and fruit leather. Subtle notes of plum and a whisper of chocolate-like sweetness create the "taste of Christmas" mentioned by the brewery, while maintaining a clean, lager-driven profile. At 9% ABV, it presents a gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth that complements its full-bodied texture, finishing with a graceful malt-forward persistence and refined bitterness.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark brown in color (approx. 20-25 SRM) with brilliant clarity and ruby highlights. Crowned by a large, creamy, and persistent off-white head that leaves significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity malt-forward aroma characterized by rich Maillard products, toasted crusts, and dark caramel. Complimented by moderate notes of dark fruit leather and plums. Alcohol is noticeable but smooth, with virtually no hop aroma.

Taste. Very rich and malty with an initial impression of toasted bread and dark fruit sweetness. Hop bitterness is moderately low, providing just enough structure to ensure the malt dominates without being cloying. Features a clean fermentation profile free of esters, leading to a lingering, malty-sweet finish that feels well-attenuated despite its strength.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally smooth. Carbonation is moderate to moderately-low, enhancing the creamy texture. A pleasant, noticeable alcohol warmth is present but remains well-integrated without any harshness or burn.
