Andechs Dopplebock Dunkel
MY REVIEW: Very good doppelbock beer. One of my favorites!
Score to my liking on a 1 low-10 high scale: 10
This world famous bock from Bavaria’s Holy Mountain is not meant to be rushed, but savored slowly. As solid as a rock, Andechs Doppelbock Dunkel presides over the evening meal with a color reminiscent of dark copper with nuances of fiery red. Its clear gleaming look harmonizes with its firm, fine pored head.
Also the aroma delights the connoisseur: soft roasted accents and a nuance of dried fruit carrying a vein of caramel. This Doppelbock Dunkel from Bavaria’s Holy Mountain presents a pleasant effervescence. And then there’s the unmistakable flavor: mouthcoating and velvety, strong and yet pleasantly malty – a powerful, robust body. At the same time, it develops an easily recognizable sweetness, embraced in roasted cocoa and a light, bitter hoppyness.
Concluding with a powerful punch, this Doppelbock departs with a lingering aftertaste of quality plain chocolate. A strong Doppelbock that embodies the centuries old Benedictine brewing tradition, sip by delicious sip. ABV 7.1%
