Brouwerij Kees in Middelburg crafts this Indian Summer as a full-bodied DoppelBock. Bottom-fermented and hopped with Saaz, it brings a heavy, woody character with prominent notes of dark chocolate and caramel in the aroma, underscored by subtle smoke.

The palate is malty and sweet, with caramel and liquorice playing leading roles. At 8.9% ABV, it drinks with warmth and substance, settling into a smooth finish. This is a winter-style bock that rewards slow sipping and contemplation.
