Doppelbock 6.5 º

Berghoeve Brouwerij

Windbuul presents as a quintessential Doppelbock, radiating a deep, malt-forward character. The sensory experience is defined by rich Maillard products, evoking toasted bread crusts and deep caramel notes without any roasted harshness. Subtle esters of plum and fruit leather emerge as the beer warms, supported by a clean lager fermentation. Its profile is one of liquid bread, where the decadent malt sweetness is masterfully balanced by a restrained bitterness, leading to a smooth, attenuated finish. Despite its strength, the alcohol remains exceptionally well-integrated, providing a gentle, comforting warmth that complements the full, velvety mouthfeel.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark brown with brilliant clarity and noticeable ruby highlights. Topped with a large, creamy, and persistent off-white head that leaves moderate lacing.

Aroma. High intensity maltiness with prominent notes of toasted bread, bread crust, and light caramel. Very low esters of dark fruit, specifically plum and dark grapes. Clean fermentation profile with no detectable hop aroma or diacetyl.

Taste. Intensely malty and rich. Initial impressions of bread crust and toasted malt dominate the palate. Hop bitterness is moderately low, providing just enough support to prevent a cloying finish. Clean fermentation character with a relatively dry finish despite the malty-sweet start.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present but never harsh or fusel. No astringency.
