Doppelbock 13.1 º

White Pony Microbrewery

The Prestidigitator is an imposing Doppelbock that pushes the boundaries of the style with an massive 13.1% ABV and significant bourbon barrel aging. It pours a deep, mahogany brown with a complex bouquet defined by rich Maillard products and luxurious layers of toffee, vanilla, and cacao. The addition of wheat enhances the beer's natural viscosity, creating a velvety texture that carries notes of dried plums and mou candies. While the base suggests traditional Munich and Vienna malts, the oak maturation introduces a sophisticated spirit-like warmth and oaky depth, resulting in a decadent, lingering finish that balances intense malt sweetness with a clean lager character.

Appearance. Dark brown with deep ruby highlights; clear to slightly hazy from barrel aging. Features a dense, creamy, tan head with moderate persistence and light lacing. (SRM 22-25)

Aroma. High intensity maltiness featuring rich toffee and deeply toasted bread. Prominent bourbon-derived vanilla and oak, alongside dark fruit esters of fig and plum. Subtle notes of cacao and sweet caramel candy. No hop aroma; clean lager fermentation with a noticeable but smooth alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impression is intensely malty and sweet, showcasing flavors of toffee and dark fruit leather. The mid-palate reveals bourbon-soaked oak, vanilla, and a touch of chocolate. Hop bitterness is low, serving only to prevent the malt from being cloying. The finish is long and warming with lingering notes of dark sugar and subtle wheat-driven creaminess.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous with a smooth, velvety texture enhanced by wheat. Carbonation is moderately low. Significant alcohol warmth is present but remains well-integrated without harshness or burning. Minimal astringency.
