Doppelsticke Altbier, Vrooden
Comfort food = comfort beer! This strong German beer offers aromas of candied fruits, chocolate and caramel that will be paired well with the taste of meat and braised vegetables. Despite sweet aromas, it has a well-balanced aftertaste thanks to a gentle herbal bitterness.
