Which of the following is a trait of a Doppelbock?

black color
bready malt flavor
high ABV (7-10%)
pronounced bitterness

The correct answer is: high ABV (7-10%)

Doppelbock is a type of strong, dark German lager that originated in Munich. One of the key characteristics of a Doppelbock is a high ABV, typically ranging from 7-10%. This is due to the fact that Doppelbock was originally created by monks as a liquid substitute for food during fasting periods. Therefore, it needed to be high in alcohol to sustain them. While some Doppelbocks may have a darker color and bready malt flavor as well, these are not defining traits and can vary among different versions of the beer. Pronounced bitterness, however, is not typically found in a Doppelbock as it is meant to be smooth and malty, with little to no hop presence. Therefore, the correct trait of a Doppelbock is a high ABV.
