Commercial Description:
Our Bock is brewed following the German Bock tradition. The use of German, British and domestic malts, a German Lager Yeast, as well as Nobel hop varieties, predominately Saaz & Sterling, create a traditional Bock. Lagered for 8 weeks, this bock is smooth with a nice creamy head, a malty sweet body and slight hop finish. March/April - now in 22oz bottles.

Pours a dark mahogany with copper hues and a frothy light tan head. Aroma of sweet toasty dark caramel malt and a good German lager yeast strain with some milk chocolate. Body starts somewhat fizzy with an earthy malty sweetness, some nutty notes and a smooth milk chocolatey finish. Nicely balanced and very authentic.

Bottle: Pours a dark ruby ebony color with thin head and nice tan retentive lacing. The nose is full of plum, fig and rich dark malts, light alcohol and a bit of cherry. The flavor is rich and full bodied with a smooth malty mouthfeel. Balanced creamy tail. A touch of roast in the finish along with a raisinette type thing. Excellent bock, pronounced yet very drinkable. I wouldn’t call it a homerun, but it’s certainly a triple.

Thanks to Ken B. for this one, and I wholeheartedly share Ken’s enthuisiasm over this one. Pours hazy deep, deep brown, with a 1-finger tan head. Fantastic appearance on this one! The aroma is huge Wheaties, with some brown sugar. Very similar to the Celebrator aroma. Tastes like liquified Wheaties, with brown sugar notes, and some slight almond, hop, and caro syrup hints. Fairly thick palate that is balanced and complex. In my mind, this is a top tier bock beer. It went well with a hunk of aged cheddar and a piece of hard bread.

Head is initially small, frothy, off-white, mostly diminishing. Body is dark reddish-amber. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted bread, nuts), trace/lightly hoppy (apricot), lightly yeasty (dough). Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation. Pity the aroma is so minimal, as the flavor balance is nice.

Bomber poured a clear reddish brown with a small lasting amber head. Aromas of carmel, and light spices. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of mellow malt, a hint of carmel and some faint spices with a smooth finish. This was a bit of a dissapointment after the last few Bond St beers.
