Juicy description

A profound enveloping winter beer. Monteith’s Doppelbock Winter Ale is a smoothly rich beer with a dense head, a powerful aroma, and chocolatey malt notes ñ the perfect way to cheer yourself up this winter.

Doppelbock was originally brewed in Bavaria back in the 1600’s to provide nourishment during the traditional German fasting periods - hence affectionately nicknamed ñ 'Liquid Bread'.

For these reasons, Doppelbock was deliberately brewed to exceed what had previously been the strongest type of beer ñ Bock. Monteith’s Doppelbock Winter Ale has an original gravity of approx 16 ƒ Plato and a final gravity of 4ƒ Plato which delivers a good balance between alcohol strength and high drinkability .

A winter-warmer brew, Monteith’s Doppelbock Winter Ale 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 Winter Ale 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 Winter Ale is subtly hopped by local varieties of the classic German ëHallertau’ hop, typical in Bock-styled beers. This delivers a moderate to high bitterness of 30, but this is mellowed on the palate by the full- flavour of the malts.

These hearty flavours are accentuated by the beer’s elevated alcohol content, offering a generous and profound finish and ensuring you warmth throughout the winter months.

Monteith’s Doppelbock Winter Ale is the perfect pre-dinner beer and can be magnificently matched with rich game foods, such as pheasant, venison and wild pork ñ a Bavarian favourite
