Doppelbock Rum - Doppelbock

Friends of fine wines appreciate rum from Jamaica for its fine aroma The diverse nuances of flavor are created by storing the rum in wooden barrels for many years The rule of thumb is: the longer the maturation, the more aromatic the rum But this process not only gives the fine drink more flavor, the wooden barrel also gains its share of aroma

For some time now, breweries have been taking advantage of this effect and using the oak barrels of rum, bourbon, wine and whiskey to refine their beers

The Kundmüller brewery from Weiher also uses the highly aromatic wooden barrels to mature its beers A particular specialty

The Doppelbock with a rum kick flows into the glass in a wonderfully rich amber color and is crowned by a white, airy head The bock is delicately spicy on the nose: Noble vanilla meets freshly ground nutmeg The first sip reveals a voluminous body with full-bodied aromas Pleasantly sweet notes of creamy caramel and cocoa caress the palate, a hint of wood and the delicate spice of vanilla and nutmeg round off the interplay of aromas In the finish, the hops mix in and give the malt-intensive bock a fine bitterness
