Hancock Black Lager

Hancock Black Lager is a distinctive dark lager brewed by Hancock Bryggeri Skive in Denmark. Utilizing lager malt instead of pilsner malt, it achieves a deeper color and a fuller body while maintaining the same alcohol content as their pilsner, Høker Bajer, at 5.0% ABV. The brewing process spans at least 90 days, ensuring a rich and complex flavor profile. The beer is available in 33 cl bottles and unpasteurized draft versions in 15 and 30-liter kegs. Tasting notes highlight a deep mahogany-brown hue with a creamy head, offering roasted malt flavors complemented by hints of caramel, chocolate, and a subtle coffee undertone, balanced by a mild bitterness. This makes it an excellent pairing for hearty dishes like pork tenderloin with caramelized onions or a classic Danish steak with fried egg. The brewery's commitment to quality and traditional brewing methods is evident in this well-crafted lager, appealing to both lager enthusiasts and those seeking a more robust beer experience.
