Doppelbock 8.5 º 22 IBU

Brouwerij De Kneiter

Lömpe Böck is a robust Doppelbock that marries traditional German character with an evocative peated smoke profile. The sensory journey is defined by a deep foundation of Munich malt and Vienna malt, producing rich Maillard notes of toasted crust and dark caramel. A distinct, smoldering campfire smoke presence permeates the aroma and flavor, adding an earthy layer to the dark fruit esters of plum and raisin. At 8.5% ABV, the beer offers a smooth, warming sensation. The palate is decadently malty yet clean, finishing with a balanced sweetness and lingering notes of smoke, making for a complex, full-bodied experience.

Appearance. Dark copper to deep brown color with brilliant ruby highlights; large, creamy, and persistent off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity malt aroma featuring deeply toasted bread, caramel, and rich Maillard products; a prominent earthy, peated smoke character akin to a smoldering campfire is present alongside moderate-low dark fruit notes of plum and fruit leather; clean fermentation profile with light alcohol warmth.

Taste. Very rich and malty-sweet initial impression with flavors of toasted crust and caramel; the peated smoke is assertive but integrated, complementing the malt; hop bitterness is moderate-low, allowing the malt to dominate; esters of dark grapes and plums lead to a clean lager finish with a lingering smoky aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a smooth, velvety texture; carbonation is moderate-low; a noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a comforting feel without any harshness or astringency.
