Asathor

Tap to rate

Asathor is a Doppelbock with 8.5% ABV; its name, one of Thor's bynames, means thunder of the gods. Dark chocolate, dried fruit and caramel form the core, joined by vanilla and a light coffee note. Well-integrated carbonation carries these flavours across a full body, and a fine, discreet bitterness closes the finish.
