Doppelbock 6.8 º

Nepo Brewing - Nepomucen

Nepo Brewing Doppel Rauchbock presents a profound sensory experience, merging the decadent richness of a traditional Doppelbock with deep, savory smoke. Brewed with a purposeful selection of dark, smoked, and caramel malts, it offers a robust aromatic profile of toasted bread crust, campfire, and light toffee. On the palate, the intense maltiness dominates, layering flavors of dark fruit leather and Maillard-driven sweetness against a backdrop of clean, woody smoke. This full-bodied lager maintains a smooth, velvety texture, with the smokiness adding complexity to the lingering, bready finish without overshadowing the core German lager character or becoming overly phenolic.

Appearance. SRM 18-24. Deep mahogany to dark brown with brilliant clarity and attractive ruby highlights. Topped by a large, creamy, off-white head with excellent persistence and fine lacing.

Aroma. High malt intensity featuring rich Maillard products, toasted bread, and deep caramel. A significant smoked malt character is present, reminiscent of beechwood. Subtle ester notes of dark plums and raisins. Hop aroma is absent, and there is a very faint, clean alcohol presence.

Taste. Very rich and malty-sweet initial impression. Dominant flavors of toasted malt, dark bread, and caramel, seamlessly integrated with a smooth, savory smoke character from the smoked malts. Hop bitterness is low, providing just enough balance to the malt-forward profile. Finishes clean with a lingering bready and smokey aftertaste; no roasted or burnt harshness is present.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate to moderately low. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is noticeable but lacks any harshness or astringency.
