Three crowns Böckla

In Franconian dialect, Böckla refers to a small billy goat However, the word can also be used as an affectionate term for a fine bock beer For example, at Drei Konen in Memmelsdorf: the traditional brewery from Franconia brews its strong Maibock with the name Böckla just in time for the start of spring every year

The pale bock beer heralds the warm season with a mild sweetness and invigorates tired spirits with a strong alcohol content of 6.2 % The seasonal specialty flows into the glass in an opalescent copper gold and is adorned with a crown of airy foam, A honey-sweet aroma of bready grain and sun-ripened malt rises to the nose and entices you to take your first sip The first sip reveals a composition of rye, raisins, candied apricots, creamy forest honey, nuts and caramel A subtle bitterness skillfully rounds off the fruity sweetness, while the hops bring gentle herbal notes and a fine tartness to the interplay of aromas

Böckla tastes good with almost anything, but we would like to suggest a special delicacy to go with it An ingenious partner to this well-balanced strong beer is pink roast lamb with homemade wild garlic butter, young potatoes, carrots glazed in butter and honey and a creamy sauce of shallots, balsamic vinegar and dark cherries.
