Krenkerup Doppel Bock

Tap to rate

Silky, full-bodied caramel runs through this double bock, with roasted rye bread, dark chocolate and candied chestnut in the aroma. About eleven weeks of lagering bring malt sweetness and bitterness into balance. Bock is linked to Bavarian monks, who brewed and enjoyed full-bodied beers during Lent; this one warms the cheeks through the cooler months of the year.
