Y Market Nachtmusik by Y Market Brewing

Y Market Nachtmusik is a 9% doppelbock from Y Market Brewing, based in Nagoya, in Aichi, Japan. Itā€™s part of their winter seasonal lineup and can be found in cans and on tap at various places across Japan. Though itā€™s brewed to a traditional German recipe, Y Market Nachtmusik uses imported US Horizon, US Amarillo, AU Galaxy, and US Mosaic hops to give it a modern twist.

Y Market Nachtmusik Aroma and Taste

I was surprised as anyone when I found Y Market Nachtmusik in a can ā€“ this is a brewery that are well-known for producing some solid pale ales and IPAs, so to see a doppelbock in their lineup suddenly appear was good little surprise. Y Market Nachtmusik poured out a dark amber brown colour with a sticky, frothy, off-white head on top that clung to the side of the glass throughout drinking. The aroma coming off Y Market Nachtmusik was part traditional ā€“ think banana and cloves ā€“ but then it was also part modern with a fruity peach and grapefruit aroma coming through too. Almost as if an American brewer had tried to replicate a doppelbock but had run out of German hops.

The body was just as interesting, for want of a better positive phrase, as the nose. The typical spikey banana and clove flavours came through, with a strong malty backbone of sweet malt-like flavours, with a body that had a low amount of carbonation it. The American influence though came through with some apricots, peaches, and grapefruit flavours being present once Y Market Nachtmusik had warmed up somewhat. It was an interesting mix of hop, malt, and yeast flavours going on in the beer ā€“ not my preferred choice but something different was much welcome. The stone fruit flavours lingered in the aftertaste and left a sticky sweet taste on the palate.

Y Market Nachtmusik The Bottom Line
