Doppelbock 8.5 º 20 IBU

Brouwerij Bello

This Robusto is a powerful Doppelbock that pours with a deep copper hue and a dense, creamy head. The nose is dominated by intense Munich malt richness, offering layers of toasted bread, caramel, and dark plum, further enhanced by the subtle woody spice and vanilla notes from toasted oak chips. On the palate, a luxurious, full-bodied sweetness is balanced by a clean lager finish and a gentle, integrated alcohol warmth. The toasted oak provides a structural depth, complementing the Maillard-driven flavors of dark fruit and crusty bread for a truly robust and complex sensory experience.

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

Aroma. High intensity of rich, toasted malt. Prominent Maillard products suggest bread crust and light caramel. Subtle notes of dark fruit like plums and raisins are present. Toasted oak chips add a refined layer of vanilla and soft woodiness. No hop aroma; clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is deeply malty and rich. Strong flavors of toasted bread and dark grain dominate, followed by moderate-low bitterness that keeps the sweetness in check. The toasted oak contributes a light tannic structure and a hint of spice. Finish is long and smooth with a lingering malt-forward sweetness, devoid of harshness or roast.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but pleasant alcohol warmth provides a glowing sensation without being hot or fusel.
