Doppelbock 7.2 º 22 IBU

Privatbrauerei Höss der Hirschbräu

Doppel-Hirsch presents a quintessential dark Doppelbock experience, defined by a luxurious malt backbone derived from a high proportion of dark malts. The sensory journey begins with an evocative bouquet of rich caramel and toasted malt, nuanced by sophisticated notes of French brandy and dark forest fruits like plum. Delicate layers reminiscent of chocolate cake emerge, supported by a faint herbal hop presence. On the palate, the beer is deeply malty and velvety, showcasing a robust profile of Maillard products and a gentle, clean alcohol warmth. It strikes a classic balance where toasty depth meets a smooth finish, exemplifying the traditional German lager character.

Appearance. Dark amber-red to deep copper with brilliant clarity and ruby highlights. Crowned by a large, creamy, off-white head with excellent persistence and fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity of rich, toasty malt and caramel. Complex notes of dark fruit such as plums or dark grapes and a distinct hint of French brandy. Subtle cocoa and chocolate cake elements with a very low herbal hop presence; clean fermentation with no esters or phenols.

Taste. Very rich and deeply malty, dominated by toasted bread crusts and dark sugar. Initial malt sweetness is balanced by a moderate-low bitterness and a smooth alcohol background. Finishes with lingering toasted malt and a hint of dark fruit; clean lager character with no roasted or burnt harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full, velvety body with a smooth, creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth without being hot; zero astringency or harshness.
