La Pirata / Farnham Doppelbock

This collaborative Doppelbock delivers a profound sensory experience anchored by a deeply developed malt profile. At 8% ABV, it presents an intense aromatic display of rich Maillard products, toasted crusts, and a suggestion of dark fruit leather and plums. Brewed with a foundation of Munich and Vienna malts, the palate is exceptionally rich and velvety, emphasizing bready sweetness and subtle chocolate notes without any roasted harshness. A clean lager fermentation ensures the focus remains on the complex grain character, while a gentle alcohol warmth and moderate-low bitterness provide balance. It finishes with a smooth, lingering malt presence, embodying the classic liquid bread heritage of the style.
