Doppelbock 8 º

Birranova

Tentator is a rich, amber Doppelbock that lives up to its liquid bread moniker with a profound malt-forward profile. Expect an aromatic invitation of deeply toasted Munich malt and sweet bread crust, accented by subtle Maillard notes and a hint of dark fruit leather. This 8% lager balances a luxurious, velvety body with a clean fermentation, offering layers of caramel and toasted grain. While the hop bitterness remains low, it provides just enough structure to keep the sweetness from cloying, finishing with a gentle, integrated alcohol warmth that reflects its monastic heritage. It is a hearty, sustaining beer that showcases the elegance of traditional German lager brewing.

Appearance. Deep copper to amber-brown with brilliant clarity. Pours with a large, creamy, off-white head that demonstrates excellent persistence and leaves fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity maltiness dominates, featuring rich toasted bread, light caramel, and significant Maillard products. Low esters of plum or dried grape are present. Hop aroma is virtually nonexistent. A clean, subtle alcohol presence is noticeable but smooth.

Taste. The initial impression is intensely malty and rich. Prominent flavors of crusty bread, toasted Munich malt, and a touch of toffee. Hop bitterness is moderately low, providing a supportive role that allows the malt to lead. The finish is well-attenuated and clean, leaning toward a balanced sweetness without being sugary. Very low herbal hop flavor.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full-bodied with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to moderately low. A gentle, warming alcohol glow is felt without any harsh or solventy notes. No astringency.
