Dopple Bock - is a stronger version of Bock, but don't be confused by the name, it's not twice as strong. The original Dopplebock was brewed by monks of St. Francis Paula, later to become Paulaner Brewery. In those days, while observing their religious holiday of lent, there were mandatory periods of fasting. They must have been very happy fasters. They are typically very full bodied with intense malty sweetness and alcohol in the taste and aroma.
Color is dark amber to dark brown with low hops leaving the entire emphasis on malt.
The ice is removed leaving a concentrated alcohol level. This beer is very full bodied with increased sweetness and alcoholic warmth. So if you favor a heavier maltier beer with plenty of punch, this is the one for you. Some of our favorites include examples made by Paulaner, Spaten , Ayinger and Aventinus. Pity is there's many more and so little time.
