Doppelbock 8 º 30 IBU

Monkey Brew

Monkey Brew Jesus is a sophisticated, deeply layered Doppelbock that serves as a modern celebration of traditional German lager techniques. The foundation of Bonsak Munich, Melanoidin, and Pilsner malts creates a decadent profile defined by toasted bread crust and warm biscuits. Extended nine-month lagering has polished the palate to a brilliant smoothness, allowing nuances of dark raisins, rich caramel, and a subtle hint of licorice to emerge without interference. This liquid-bread experience focuses entirely on malt depth and Maillard complexity, offering a festive, full-bodied character with a clean fermentation profile and a gentle, perfectly integrated alcohol presence.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark brown with distinct ruby highlights. Pours with a large, creamy, and persistent off-white head. Excellent clarity despite its depth of color.

Aroma. High intensity maltiness featuring rich Maillard products, deeply toasted bread, and caramel. Significant dark fruit notes of raisins and plum, accompanied by a faint hint of licorice. Hop aroma is absent, allowing the clean lager fermentation and complex malt bill to dominate.

Taste. Initial impression is very rich and malty. Dominant flavors of bready Munich malt, biscuits, and dark caramel. Mid-palate reveals dark fruit esters and a touch of spice reminiscent of licorice. Hop bitterness is moderately low, providing just enough structure to prevent the beer from being cloying. The finish is smooth and malty-sweet, though sufficiently attenuated for a clean aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate-low, enhancing the beer's substantial feel. A gentle, pleasant alcohol warmth is present but remains soft and well-integrated without any harshness.
