A Note on This Beer

Back in the 17th century, German monks liked their beers THICK. 

Those beer-loving brothers needed strong Lagers (basically “liquid bread”) like Dopplebocks, to sustain them for long fasting periods, like Lent.

Tripper Bocker (2019), a Dopplebock from the award-winning brewmasters at Mikkeller, could certainly replace a meal. They cleverly put their own twist on the centuries-old tradition, adding raspberries and aging it in bourbon barrels. They even dubbed their bigger, boozier version a “Tripplebock.”

Each full-bodied, toasted malt sip is laced with caramel, raspberry, and chocolate flavors, and it’s so thick you may want to pop a cork in it halfway through.

I wouldn’t recommend fasting like those monks to enjoy it though — it comes with a sneaky 11.2% ABV!

Plus, those slightly sweet, malt-forward flavors pair so well with food, you’ll think those monks must’ve been crazy for fasting. Pour it into a fancy tulip glass and sip it alongside some brie and prosciutto, or even a decadent slice of German chocolate cake!

Just grab it quick, because it’s hard to get a hold of this rare and sophisticated style. In fact, Mikkeller San Diego is one of the few U.S. breweries making ‘em! 

*Mikkeller San Diego is an extra-special treat. Food & Wine’s Most Important Brewery from Europe teamed up with the 5X World Beer Cup Gold Medalists at AleSmith to form this super brewery in SoCal!

Second bottle was better - raspberry adds a really nice accent to the malt of the lager

One of the most interesting beers I’ve had. Raspberry, chocolate, spice, and dark cherries. All with a medium body to make it not too heavy, but a very complex flavor profile. My only regret is I didn’t share it with anyone... whoops

More complexities come through as it warmed a bit but the raspberry gets a little off if it gets too warm. Overall an interesting beer that is worth paying attention as you drink

This, my first ever "triple bock", certainly does that! This one is a clever twist on the centuries old tradition. Here, they've added raspberries which offset the triple malted sweetness with a tangy bite and further barrel aged this monster to a chewy tune of 11.2%, aaaaand u kno it's there! This is a 2019 vintage I've given an additional 36 months of cellaring before sessions began. Well worth the wait. Complex Layers of sweet cocoa maltiness, earthy body, bitter espresso and tangy and tart berries all Duke it out on the pallet. Interesting, challenging and not for the novice!
