Einbecker Ur-Bock Dunkel

Brewed by Einbecker Brauhaus
Style: Dunkler Bock
Einbeck, Niedersachsen, Germany

The aroma is very sweet malty with strong caramel notes and some yeast and brewmash. The color is a hazy red and it has a very beutiful dense off-white head. The flavor is dominated by caramel malt, making it rather sweet in the beginning, before the alcohol, yeast, and wood kicks in. In the end it turns rather bitter - primarily from hops, so much, that it tingles the palate. The palate is really good - especially considering it only being 6.5% ABV.

(Bottle 33 cl) Brown, almost dark brown, with a nice creamy head. Fresh, although slightly perfumy, nose. Full-bodied with lots of malt and a lingering bitter finish. Some caramel but never sweet. An excellent bock - the mother of all bocks. 230899
