About

Ebontree from Dordrecht crafted this Ebon Smoked Bock by blending a double bock with Lapsang Souchong tea, creating a robust yet refined smoke character. The beer earned second prize in the 2019 Dutch championship for special bock beers. At 7.5% ABV and 35 IBU, it strikes a balance between the full, dark notes of a traditional double bock and the subtle, complex smoke from Chinese tea. The brewery's stubborn approach shines here: East meets West in the glass. The result is a dark, rich beer that feels both powerful and elegant, appealing to those seeking something beyond conventional bock offerings.
