Falesia

Tap to rate

Falesia is a bottom-fermented bock, deep red with ruby highlights and clear in the glass. The nose opens sweetly with caramel and a strong malt aroma, followed by walnut and ripe red fruit. The palate is full and layered, with toasted and caramelised notes at the centre, yet it moves more easily than its weight suggests. Bitterness is light and leaves the grain in the lead.
