Ein Doppelbock

Tap to rate

A deep amber Easter beer with a rich malt profile and warm notes of caramel, bread and a little dried fruit. Strong and round, with a subtle sweetness that balances the light hop bitterness. Brewed from water, barley malt and yeast only and served unfiltered and unpasteurised, it is a seasonal doppelbock from Gamborg, the Middelfart brewery three friends founded in 2021.
