Description:
The term “liquid bread” likely refers to this style of beer, as it traces its origins to German monks who made strong, full bodied brews to be consumed in place of solid food during Lent. Malt flavors shine in a Doppelbock, and hops take the back seat here. Our version makes use of Vienna and Bonlander Munich malts as the base, also incorporating Munich 20, Cara-Munich, Breiss Aromatic, and Chocolate malts for a hefty, toasty beer in flavor and aroma. Expect a deep amber color, a rich malty aroma, and a complex flavor that truly celebrates malted barley and it’s various forms. Look for plenty of biscuity and bready flavors, accented by caramelized sweetness, finishing smooth and mellow with hints of chocolate. Hops are used only for a counter to the malt sweetness. We used Tettenang hops for bitterness and Hallertau for flavor. No aroma hops were added. This beer was fermented on White Labs Southern German Lager yeast, which is richer in flavor and aromatics than our house lager yeast. Original Gravity: 18 Balling, Final Gravity 4.5 Balling. 24 IBUs (low hop bitterness and aroma)
