Birrificio Mastio Rock Noel 75 Cl.

The Christmas beer of Il Mastio is inspired by the Belgian abbey kerstbier, full-bodied and alcoholic beers made for the cold months, often flavored with the typical spices of the desserts of this period. In this case the Rock Noel involves the use of ginger in the boiling phase. A part of the crush is sometimes destined for aging in Vin Cotto barriques.

Poured into the glass it appears intense amber, almost tawny in reflections. The nose is struck by notes of caramel, red fruit, dried fruit (figs, almonds, hazelnuts) and the spicy notes of ginger. In the mouth the taste is full, sweet and malty lingering on red fruit and caramel. Excellent alcoholic warming which is partly dried out by the spicy freshness of the ginger.

How to pair Rock Noel

We recommend it with robust roasted or braised red meats or rich Christmas desserts.
