Mikkeller Frelser

This Bock from Mikkeller is called Frelser. Means Savior in Danish. The name is a subtle reference to all Bocks Mother: Salvator. Originally the monks brewed Salvator because they needed a very strong and rich beer during Lent. Do not drink this beer instead of a meal, it contains 11% alcohol.

3.8 W aromacie karmel, ale i sporo nut quasi belgijskich, suszonych owoców, cukru kandyzowanego, tak jakby piwo było refermentowane po belgijsku. W smaku stosunkowo wytrawne, leciutko alkoholowe, szlachetne nuty karmelu i czekolady z orzechami. Mało intensywny w smaku, za to bardzo pijalny. Mimo bardzo quadowego aromatu charakter doppelbocka został zachowany. Bardzo dobre piwo!
