A Note on This Beer
Draft Magazine rates Bayern Brewing’s Doppelbock the highest of all Doppelbocks - a 98 - stating “This Doppelbock’s sniff, swallow and everything between radiate simple perfection.”
From their Missoula, Montana home, Bayern makes a commitment to authenticity and quality by using traditional German techniques, equipment, and ingredients. With a light caramel glaze and a sweet bun breadiness, this Doppelbock even exceeds the German classics rated by Draft Mag. All elements come together to saturate this crisp drinking Lager with rich malt flavors, showing why Doppelbocks became famous as a fortifying liquid bread for Monks fasting during Lent.
Toasted amber brown in the chalice, this Doppelbock beckons you closer with sweet notes of raisin-studded caramel-drenched holiday breads. Take a sip and you’ll discover the flavor notes of Kuchen (German sweet cake). Honey melts into brandied grapes before it’s ignited by a zesty, almost peppery carbonation that invigorates the whole experience.
If you want to drink like a monk, start into the Doppelbocks after Mardi Gras and have no other style of beer all the way until Easter. Even drinking nothing else for months, it’ll be hard to tire of this world-class Doppel from Bayern.
