OVERVIEW
Beer Type
Most Doppelbock beers are clear, deep burgundy to dark brown in color. They have a strong malty character and can be quite complex, exhibiting rich aromas and flavors of toasty caramel, toffee and hints of chocolate and dark fruits, such as raisin and plum. Low hop levels enhance their sweetness. Helles Doppelbocks—more deep gold in color and less common—are equally rich in toasty malt and are very smooth. Some golden examples may exhibit more hop character, yet the malt remains front and center. High ABV offerings can exhibit an alcohol aroma and flavor.
The Paulaner Monks named their beer “Salvator,” or Savior, a name under which the modern Paulaner Brauerei in Munich sells its Doppelbock today. Many modern Doppelbock beers created by other breweries have “-ator” at the end of their name, perhaps as a nod to the history and popularity of this style.

Lagers represent some of the most approachable, easy-drinking beer styles available, which contributes to Lager’s consumption edge over ale, despite the fact that ale styles are more numerous and were consumed thousands of years before lagering and cold-aging took hold.
