Zondebok is a Doppelbock from Bierbrouwerij Vermeersen in Hulst, a brewery with roots stretching back to 1821. This dark brown beer presents full, malty character supported by chocolate and caramel aromas. The nose shows laurel, spice and dark fruit notes. On the palate, roasted malt flavours emerge alongside a characterful bitterness that doesn't overwhelm with sweetness. The finish is dry with pleasant alcohol warmth.

At 8% ABV, this Doppelbock carries a fine, creamy head and full body befitting its intensity. It drinks less sweet than the style might suggest, providing balance and drinkability despite the higher alcohol content.
