Doppelbocks are a very malty beer. The hops bitterness is slight, at best. If you like hoppy beers, maybe try one with a lager yeast. About any beer you can brew as an ale you can also brew using lager yeast.
The saflager 34/70 is a nice dry lager yeast.

Hope there was some hops in your beer.

Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy new year! I served my family my Iowa Pre-prohibtion lager which they enjoyed very much.

Nice!  5 or better on the last one is impressive!

I was guessing on 9 of 10 on the last one.

BTW, US-05 yeast is a good clean yeast to use. I used the german lager yeast.

I used the recipe Gordon Strong wrote about in the July/August 2017 issue of BYO. I made it last year and again last Saturday. It is delicious and well worth the effort. You can go to the BYO website and buy the back issue, well worth the investment. The recipe does call for about 5oz wheat.

I'm banking on the premise that there will always be enough beer to satisfy the people still alive.

Agreed. History shows that this is the case.
