This Bourbon Barrel Doppelbock pours a deep mahogany, releasing a complex bouquet of rich Munich malt and toasted oak. The nose is dominated by intense Maillard products, reminiscent of dark caramel and toasted bread, intricately layered with bourbon-derived notes of vanilla, coconut, and a hint of charred wood. On the palate, a luxurious malt sweetness unfolds with flavors of dark plum and fig, balanced by a subtle spirituous warmth. The extended cold lagering in the world's deepest cellar ensures a velvet-smooth texture, while the bourbon barrel influence provides a sophisticated finish of sweet spice and lingering oak, elevating the traditional Doppelbock profile.
Appearance.Deep copper to dark mahogany in color with brilliant clarity and attractive ruby highlights. Topped by a dense, creamy, persistent off-white head that leaves moderate lacing.
Aroma.High intensity malt aroma featuring deep toasted notes, dark caramel, and rich Maillard products. Pronounced bourbon influence contributes aromas of vanilla, oak, and a subtle boozy sweetness. Low dark fruit esters like plum and raisin; virtually no hop aroma.
Taste.Initial impression is exceptionally rich and malty. Deeply toasted malt, bread crust, and caramel flavors are joined by prominent bourbon character, including toasted oak and vanilla. Hop bitterness is moderately low, providing just enough structure to keep the malt and barrel sweetness from being cloying. Clean fermentation leads to a smooth, warming finish with lingering notes of dark fruit and sweet spirit.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied and viscous with moderate-low carbonation. The texture is creamy and exceptionally smooth. A significant, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, reflecting both the high gravity and the barrel aging without being harsh.
