Doppelbock styles
Doppelbock styles are rich, malty German lagers known for their deep flavor and full body. They typically have a dark amber to brown color, with flavors of caramel, toffee, and roasted malt. These beers are often slightly sweet, smooth, and complex, sometimes featuring gentle notes of dark fruit or chocolate. Doppelbocks are higher in alcohol than regular lagers, making them robust and satisfying. They are traditionally brewed as nourishing, hearty beers, originally created by monks to sustain them during fasts. Overall, they are flavorful, well-balanced beers with a smooth, malt-forward profile.
