COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This is it! The powerful, full-bodied, strong beer which is Andechs’s trademark. Brewed in the traditional Triple Mash procedure and available throughout the year, not just during the "Starkbierzeit"!
When the evening passes into dusk and the day draws to a close, time goes a little slower. Just the right time for a glass of Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel. Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel – mouthcoating, velvety, strong This world famous bock from Bavaria’s Holy Mountain is not meant to be rushed, but savoured slowly. As solid as a rock, Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel presides over the evening meal with a colour reminiscent of dark copper with nuances of fiery red. Its clear gleaming look harmonises with its firm, fine pored head. Also the aroma delights the connoisseur: soft roasted accents and a nuance of dried fruit carrying a vein of caramel. This Doppelbock Dunkel from Bavaria’s Holy Mountain presents a pleasant effervescence. And then there’s the unmistakable flavour: mouthcoating and velvety, strong and yet pleasantly malty – a powerful, robust body. At the same time, it develops an easily recognisable sweetness, embraced in roasted cocoa and a light, bitter hoppiness. Concluding with a powerful punch, this Doppelbock departs with a lingering aftertaste of quality plain chocolate. A strong Doppelbock that embodies the centuries old Benedictine brewing tradition, sip by delicious sip (original extract: 18.5%, abv: over 7.1%).

UPDATED: MAY 15, 2022 Frothy pour and an attractive, European bottle. Fairly malty, with a flavor of pumpernickel raisin bread. It is well balanced between dry and sweet, and finishes dry on the palate. It goes down easily too. The label hints that this has been brewed since 1455 CE, so you can see that their good reputation goes well back into the past.

UPDATED: MAY 6, 2022 Brotig, dunkel, süß. So wie ein Fadtenbock sein soll. In der Mass natürlich mit 7 % Alkohol nicht ohne, aber eine geht schon.

UPDATED: JAN 22, 2022 Clear dark red beer, initially with a thick off white collar on it. Smell is all caramel and malt. Flavour has caramel, dried fruit, a good malty base. Simple flavours balanced beautifully with a good body to it and a nice finish which is sweet without being sickly. Can't say fairer than that.
