Doppelbock 7.5 º 40 IBU

Brouwerij Het Platte Harnas

This Doppelbock presents a profound display of malt complexity, drawing deeply from a base of Munich and Vienna malts to create a rich, liquid-bread experience. The initial impression is one of toasted crusts and dark honey, evolving into sophisticated Maillard-driven notes of plum and subtle fruit leather. Its full-bodied nature provides a velvety presence on the palate, where the sweetness is masterfully balanced by a clean lager finish and a whisper of noble-style bitterness. As a quintessential autumn warmer, it offers a gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth that complements its decadent, toasted-grain character and creamy texture.

Appearance. Copper to deep dark brown in color (18-24 SRM) with brilliant clarity and ruby highlights. Features a large, creamy, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity maltiness characterized by rich Maillard products, deeply toasted bread, and dark caramel. Notable esters of plum, dark grape, and fruit leather. Hop aroma is absent, while a soft, clean alcohol presence adds depth.

Taste. Very rich and intensely malty. Initial impressions of toasted grain and bread crust lead to complex flavors of dark fruit and a hint of chocolate. Bitterness is moderately low, serving only to support the malt dominance. Clean fermentation profile with a finish that, while malty-sweet, shows enough attenuation to avoid cloying. Aftertaste lingers with a pleasant, toasted-malt sweetness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, comforting alcohol warmth is present but remains smooth without any harshness or burn.
