Dark Beauty - Doppelbock

Beer style: Dark lager

In our opinion, lager is an absolutely underrated beer style In the midst of hop-packed craft beers, aroma-intensive novelties and wacky specialties, the humble lager can sometimes take a back seat, but we advise you: Don't miss out on this delicacy! This classic shines with great harmony, a good balance of hops and malt and a palatable fullness that is second to none

A particularly fine variant is the Dark Lager from Josef Langwieser's noble beer forge Dark Beauty has a pleasant 5.2% alcohol content and flows into the glass in the darkest shade of mahogany An ivory-colored crown of dense-pored foam adorns the night-black beer and smells enticingly of caramel, raisins and freshly baked rye bread, The flavor profile follows the olfactory first impression and is composed of dark roasted malt, coffee beans, creamy toffee and dried fruits A hint of licorice, a nice hop spiciness and the roasty bitterness of toasted malt round off the aroma play brilliantly

The dark beauty from Josef's creative mind goes perfectly with red meat We like to enjoy it with beef carpaccio The raw, thinly sliced meat is served with a generous drizzle of olive oil, coarsely sliced Grana Padano, small rocket leaves, roasted pistachios and a few turns of black pepper A touch of truffle oil gives the dish that little bit extra
