A profound enveloping winter beer, Monteith’s Doppelbock Bier is a smoothly rich beer with a dense head, a powerful aroma, and chocolately malt notes ~ the perfect way to cheer yourself up this winter. Doppelbock Bier was originally brewed in Bavaria back in the 1600’s to provide nourishment during the traditional German fasting periods ~ hence affectionately nicknamed ~ ‘Liquid Bread’. For these reasons, Doppelbock was deliberately brewed to exceed what had previously been the strongest type of beer ~ Bock. Monteith’s Doppelbock Bier has an original gravity of 18° Plato and a final gravity of 5° Plato. A winter-warmer brew, Monteith’s Doppelbock is characterised by its smooth rich start, rounded body and long finish. Its full-malty flavour is the outcome of lovingly-crafted four premium malts. Monteith’s Doppelbock blends traditional German Munich-malts with a pilsner malt and just a hint of dark malt which delectably delivers a voluptuous beer with a winter fire’s red hue. True to its origin Monteith’s Doppelbock is subtly hopped by local varieties of the classic German ‘Hallertau’ hop, typical in Bock-styled beers. This delivers a moderate to high bitterness of 35, but this is mellowed on the palate by the full- flavour of the malts. These hearty flavours are accentuated by the beers seven percent alcohol content, offering a generous and profound finish and ensuring you warmth throughout the winter months. Monteith’s Doppelbock Bier is the perfect pre-dinner beer and can be magnificently matched with rich game foods, such as pheasant, venison and wild pork ~ a Bavarian favourite!
