Düll Krautheimer Heller Bock
Düll Krautheimer Heller Bock is a richly malty fruity example of the style their signature white pepper in both the nose and palate but it blends in better than in their even richer Dunkler Doppelbock. It's quite dry even at 7.2%.
Düll Krautheimer Dunkler Doppelbock
Düll Krautheimer Dunkler Doppelbock is a richly malty example of the style with dried fruit in both the nose and palate. Their signature white pepper element doesn't play so well with this particular beer but the lingering finish isn't overly cloying, even at 7.8%.
Kesselring Urfränkisches Doppelbock
Kesselring Urfränkisches Doppelbock is uncharacteristically deep golden but a wonderful mix of rich malt and underlying hops. It's got some honey in the nose and the palate is fruity and surprisingly dry for 7.5%.
Forstquell-Bock
Forst-Quell Bock is another great beer from the brewery, coming out on Ash Wednesday at their annual Bockanstich. It's full of dried fruit and the lingering finish is quite dry for its strength and dangerously moreish.
Greif Bock
Greif Bock is a balanced richly malty brew with plenty of hops for a lingering, semi-dry, semi-bitter moreish finish.
Felsenbräu Felsator
Felsenbräu Felsator is a richly malty Doppelbock with dried fruit in both the nose and palate before a lingering semi-dry, bittersweet finish.
Wurm Jura Quell Doppelbock
Wurm Jura Quell Doppelbock is a gorgeous richly malty potent brew of 7.5% with both caramel and roast in the nose and palate before a lingering, semi-dry, bittersweet finish.
Wagner Bräu (Oberhaid) Bock
Wagner Bräu Bock is a rich malty beer of 7.5%. This bottle had a fair amount of diacetyl but I'll not write the beer off until I try it again one day.
Landwehr Landbock Hell
Landwehr Landbock Hell is quite dry for the style and though a bit thin of flavor and complexity, it's a serviceable and easy to drink example of the style at 6.6%.
