Doppelbock

The Doppelbock is a strong, rich, and very malty German lager. Most versions are dark coloured and may display the caramelizing of decoction mashing. The pale versions will not have the same richness and darker malt flavours of the dark versions, and may be a bit drier, hoppier and more bitter. A stronger, richer, more full-bodied version of either a Dunkler Bock or a Helles Bock. Pale versions will show higher attenuation and less dark fruity character than the darker versions.
