How would a feminine Doppelbock be named?

Assuming Salvator, Celebrator, and the like are masculine beers, I would imagine Salvatrix and Celebratrix are their feminine counterparts.

So... The name Doppelbock comes from Bockbier which is derived from the town Einbeck where it originated. The town's name likely comes from a dialect version of "ein Bach" (a brook).

The best feminine name would therefore be Doppel-. But alas there are very few feminine German words relating to bodies of water. Best I can come up with is Doppelquelle (Quelle means spring), but that sounds like sparkling water.

Haha, Doppelböckin is pretty cool! How about "Doppelbockinette" or "Bocking"?

Bockbier has no relation to a goat/sheep/whatever, even if it's sometimes used nowadays.

Also, I doubt that many breweries would try to sell a Bockbier with a female name, there just isn't enough market for one.

Doppelblume. It means "double blossom".

Alternatives:

  • Domina Doppel
  • Endowed Doppel
  • Satin/Silk/Velvet Doppel
  • Double-D Doppel
