Bock and other strong beers have their origins in monastery breweries: they were traditionally produced during Lent so that the monks who abstained from bread and meat could at least enjoy nutritious beer. The rich barley juice was intended to give them strength for prayer and daily work and to keep the men of God happy in this austere time. Today we only fast for sweets, but the tradition of bock beer has remained with us.
A delicious part of this tradition is, for example, the Jacobator from the Jacob family brewery. However, due to its impressive 7.5% alcohol content, you should only enjoy the Weißbier Doppelbock on an empty stomach if you have no further plans for the day. However, the dark beer doesn’t just delight with its twists. The hazelnut-brown specialty with a creamy, ivory-colored foam head attracts with its magnificent appearance and a scent made up of dark chocolate, cloves, dried fruit and strong roasted malt. The taste goes in the same direction and delights with a full-bodied bouquet of creamy caramel, delicately melting chocolate, crunchy grain, candied red fruits, orange zest, spicy hops and dark rye bread. The Doppelbock skilfully balances velvety sweetness, hoppy tartness, winter spice and good roasted bitterness and is a drinkable pleasure for cold, uncomfortable winter days.
