Doppelbock 8 º 32 IBU

Stadsbrouwerij De Pelgrim

Billington is a robust Doppelbock designed for colder weather, delivering a deeply comforting sensory experience. It leads with a powerful malt presence characterized by rich Maillard products and toasted bread. Subtle, integrated notes of coffee and dark chocolate emerge from the darker specialty grains, complemented by faint hints of dark fruit leather and plums. At 8% ABV, it offers a smooth, gentle alcohol warmth that enhances its full-bodied nature. This traditional strong lager maintains a clean fermentation profile, allowing the complex interplay of toasted malts to dominate while a light hop presence provides a balanced, satisfyingly rich finish.
