Whiplash Brewing from Ireland crafts this Doppelbock using beech-smoked malt imported directly from Bamberg, paired with Light Munich malt. It's a tribute to German smoked beer tradition, reimagined from Dublin. The triple decoction method builds body and complexity into this 8.6% dark ale.

The aroma opens with smoke and bread, carrying bacon-like notes. The beer pours clear dark brown with ruby highlights, topped by a creamy tan head. Smoky character meets the full, malty foundation of a proper Doppelbock.
