Schmucker Doppel-Bock Dunkel

ersma: „quellrein aus dem odenwald“ steht da drauf. was ist „quellrein denn bitte für eine wortschöpfung? dunkel kupferfarben, unschaumig der geruch ist (röst)malzig. süßlicher antrunk, der dahinter aber recht viel hopfen mitbringt sowie würzige töne. dazu eine merkwürdige beinote. die mitte ist recht herb und kräuterartig. herb-würziger abgang mit malznoten dahinter. die flasche kommt schmucker-typisch daher, ist also eher mäßig. fazit: recht herber bock, insofern untypisch. von den 8 volt merkt man nix.

[bottle] Sweet malt aroma that is spicy and estery (bubblegum) and with sherry and nutty notes. Clear red-brown with a thin, off-white blanket. Sweet, darkish malt flavour that is sherry-like and with some nuts, balanced with a good bitterness. Some oxidized coffee notes as well. Medium body, moderate carbonation, moderately bitter finish.

bottle - (asheft) amber brown beer with beige head. Malty alcoholic aroma. Flavour has sweet maltiness and alcohol.

The bottle looks good, the beer in the glass also. Starts mild, modest malty, high ABV is well hidden. The finish is hoppy and dry, maltiness in the background. Very drinkable for a doppelbock. Not bad!

Bottle @ home.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of MoritzF. Pours a clear, orangey brown with a dense, lacing off-white head. Sweetish aroma of roasted malt and some alcohol. Quite a full and very solid body with a shipload of roasted malt. Quite a bitter finish with a distinct alcohol burn. 191207
