Mountains Walking Brewery Chopping Wood - Doppelbock
This dark Doppelbock showcases a masterful application of traditional decoction mashing and 100% German malt, resulting in a complex web of deep sensory layers. The aroma is dominated by rich Maillard products, offering notes of toasted bread and sweet toffee, accented by the subtle, spicy, and herbal character of Spalt Spalter hops. On the palate, a luxurious malt depth unfolds with flavors of raisin and dark fruit leather. Despite its robust 8.4% ABV, the beer remains exceptionally smooth due to two months of cold conditioning, balancing its bready sweetness with a clean fermentation profile and a gentle, integrated warmth.
Appearance. Dark brown with brilliant clarity and prominent ruby highlights (22-25 SRM). Topped by a large, creamy, persistent off-white head that leaves consistent lacing.
Aroma. High intensity maltiness featuring deeply toasted bread, toffee, and rich Maillard products. Low spicy and herbal hop aroma from the Spalt Spalter. Distinctive but moderate dark fruit notes of raisin and plum are present, with a clean lager fermentation and a soft, moderate alcohol presence.
Taste. Very rich and malty initial impression. Dominant flavors of bready crust, sweet toffee, and raisin. Hop bitterness is moderate-low, providing enough structure to ensure the malt-forward profile doesn't become cloying. Faint spicy hop flavor. The finish is clean with a lingering, pleasant malt sweetness and no harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a very smooth, creamy texture. Moderate-low carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth that never burns. Zero astringency.
