Lausitzer Bergbock

Tap to rate

Full-bodied with a robust malt flavor: a pale, strong bock brewed to the traditional Bergquell recipe at 16% original gravity, reaching 7.0%. Traditionally brewed for autumn and released in spring and autumn editions, it is seen less in Lusatia's mountain landscape than in the glasses of local beer connoisseurs.

◐ Taste

Full and rounded on the palate, with a substantial malt backbone delivering toasted grain and subtle sweetness. The 35 IBU provide restrained bitterness that balances without overshadowing the malt richness; the 7% alcohol integrates smoothly, warming slightly on the mid-palate without harshness.
