Tucher Brewing, Germany
Appearance
Fairly attractive dopplebock beer, a dark mahogany brown, a slightly cloudy
brownish red when held to a light. Head is a light tan of moderate height and
duration. Lacing on the glass is minimal. A hearty light brown to dark red. Some
light lacing on a sticky sweet platform with a small fluffy beige head.
Aroma
Decent strength, a true bock style aroma. Strong sweet malt with a bit of
chocolate and alcohol tone, with even lighter lime citrus in the background.
Sweet and nutty with a little warmth. Burnt caramel sugars with a light fruity
background of grape and plum. Soft and acceptable cereal notes.
Palate
Strong, full, and sweet, definitive bock style malts with light chocolate tones and
light level of grains. Smooth, fluffy, and silky. A true German dopplebock. Heavy
malts and typical bock flavors presented as a duality with crisp and inviting water.
Finish
An already full flavor gets even more full ! A pleasant sweet malt, an intense but
only semi-sweet chocolate, light lime citrus, some graininess, and a mild salt
component enters the mix. All of the above palate qualities with a little tannin.
Cereal and sweet characteristics with caramel thickness battling with the clean
water crispness in a non-hoppy traditional example of the dopplebock style of
beer.
Synopsis
No doubt, a definitive example of the dopplebock style. As mentioned, the
requisite dark sweet malts, chocolate, mild alcohol warmth, mild salt, and lack of
hoppiness are present as expected in this beer. A few American breweries are
finally starting to put out some respectable examples of this style
( Commemorator, Consecrator, and VooDoo Vator on our site for example). I
hope to see more American micro-breweries tackling this style. A good German
dopplebock that doesn't climb to new heights, but provides a good example of a
traditional style of beer. Not even my favorite dopplebock but plenty good, n0
let-downs for the dopplebock enthusiast.
