Topic: Doppelbock


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

  
  Doppelbock
Doppelbock (literally "double bock") is a stronger and usually darker version of the Bavarian Bockbier.
Doppelbock emerged in the late eighteenth century as a powerful lager variant of the old monastic strong beer, the monks' "liquid bread," which they traditionally brewed for the Lenten season.
Perhaps one of the better-known Doppelbocks available in North America is the Ayinger Celebrator and the amber-colored, fiery Kulmbacher EKU Kulminator 28.
