Zum Goldenen Adler Doppelbock

A Doppelbock with a gorgeous deep amber hue and off-white creamy head. Lovely rich malty nose with a hint of burnt caramel. Palate is similar, making it a more of a sipper but balanced enough that I had three with lunch!

Pax-Bräu Pacifator

Pax-Bräu Pacifator is a lovely example of the style with a balanced fruity palate featuring a hint of smoke. It's extremely dry for 8.7% and while hoppy, the bitterness level quite low relative to the dry finish. Lovely.

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%.

Dorn-Bräu Doppelbock bottle

Dorn-Bräu Doppelbock is a richly malty Hallerbock with some grain in the mix before the hops dry things out in the lingering semi-dry finish. Dangerously drinkable at 7.5%
