Dolio - Lemke

Lemke Dolio – A Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout for Special Moments

Some beers are simply enjoyed. Others are meant to be savoured. Lemke Dolio undoubtedly belongs to the latter. This bold Imperial Stout is matured for several months in French oak barrels, developing remarkable depth with layers of roasted malt, dark chocolate, and elegant oak character. A beer for special occasions—and for anyone who appreciates exceptional stouts.

The combination of intensely roasted malts, a warming alcohol strength, and extended oak barrel ageing creates an extraordinarily complex drinking experience. Every sip reveals new layers, from rich espresso and smooth vanilla to dark dried fruits.

Tasting Notes

From the very first pour, intense aromas of freshly roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and cocoa fill the glass. On the palate, Dolio is rich and velvety with flavours of toffee, caramel, vanilla, and dark berries. Ageing in French oak barrels adds delicate woody notes and a gentle warmth. The long, silky finish is defined by roasted malt complexity and a subtle lingering sweetness.
