Doublebrau Barrel Aged Imperial Festbier

Doublebrau Barrel Aged Imperial Festbier is a robust take on the traditional Oktoberfest lager, elevated with an ABV of 10.7%. After an initial rich malt backbone featuring toasted bread and caramel notes, it spends eight months aging in whiskey barrels, imparting subtle oak, vanilla, and whiskey nuances. The moderate bitterness at 25 IBU balances the sweetness, while the deep amber color reflects its intensified malt character. Aromas of toasted malt mingle with hints of barrel-aged complexity, creating a full-bodied, smooth mouthfeel with lingering warmth on the finish. This beer offers a layered experience that bridges classic festbier qualities with bold barrel-aged depth.
