Doppelbock 7.5 º 15 IBU

Brouwerij Frontaal

This unique collaboration transforms the rich foundations of a Doppelbock into a bold, Dutch-inspired sensory journey. A deep base of Munich and Vienna malts provides a robust canvas of toasted bread and dark caramel, seamlessly integrating the unconventional addition of Oldtimers drop. The aroma is dominated by earthy licorice root and the sharp, mineral pungency of salmiak, which pierces through the subtle dark fruit esters of plum and prune. On the palate, the decadent malt sweetness is tempered by an assertive herbal bitterness and a savory saltiness, finishing with a long, cooling anise-driven warmth that honors both traditional lager craftsmanship and adventurous confectionery heritage.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark mahogany with clear ruby highlights; brilliant clarity; topped with a large, creamy, off-white to light tan head that shows excellent persistence.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant notes of toasted bread crust and rich Maillard products; assertive earthy licorice, anise, and a sharp salmiak mineral quality; low dark fruit esters resembling plum; virtually no hop aroma.

Taste. Rich and malty initial impression featuring toasted grain and dark caramel; the mid-palate introduces a complex interplay of savory salmiak and deep licorice root; hop bitterness is moderate-low but feels firmer due to herbal botanical contributions; clean lager profile; lingering finish of sweet anise and toasted malt.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture; moderate-low carbonation; a gentle, integrated alcohol warmth is present; faint mineral astringency from the salty licorice additions.
