Vulkan - Bio Bourbon Barrel Doppelbock

Bio Bourbon Barrel Doppelbock is a top-fermented doppelbock beer that is aged for up to 12 months in oak barrels that previously contained bourbon whiskey. The result is an extraordinary combination of a strong beer with distinctive bourbon aromas. The barrels are stored in the historic rock cellar 30 meters below the brewery. The temperature there is a constant 8 degrees Celsius. The humidity is over 90%. This high humidity settles over the barrel and closes the pores. By minimizing contact with the outside world, the beer can absorb the full range of flavors. The Bio Bourbon Barrel Doppelbock glows in a rich amber color and has a majestic head. Sweet, malty aromas immediately unfold in the glass. The first sip envelops the tongue with vanilla, caramel, and coconut. The initial taste is full-bodied and sparkling. Further aromas such as honey and dried fruit reveal themselves. The 9.5% alcohol content flows pleasantly warm down the throat. The sweetness remains in the aftertaste, while there is hardly any acidity or bitterness.
