French Broad Watershed Bock Beer

Brewed by French Broad Brewing Co.
Style: Dunkler Bock
Asheville, North Carolina USA

pours a brown color with a malty yet sweet flavor. aftertaste is not that bitter and really not that great of a brew overall

brown and kind of sweet. a little thick for a regular bock, but it does work. bocks are something that i dont really understand, because usually they just taste like beer. dopplebocks are way more complex, but i dont understand the point in a bock. ah well, it was still a drinkable beer. sampled at brewgrass 04 on draught.

Brown, see through appearance. Medium off white head. Color seems to be a little bit dark for a true bock. Aroma is strange--wheaty and grainy (like bread). Malty flavor--very caramel is indicative of a doppelbock but the sweetness is nowhere to be found. In fact there is a bitter aftertaste which ruins the palate. This is not any kind bock. It is a weak attempt at making one out of various bock styles, and I don't appreciate it.

Copper-brown color with a long lasting head. Nice malted flavors are noticable at first, followed by a somewhat bitter finish. Good balance overall. This unobtrusive brew should please just about anyone.

A kind of roasted nut aroma, and a rich palate. Big Malty finish. Y’know, this brewery recently added "River" to their name, which although technically correct, is a lot less fun. I liked the idea of a brewery run by French Broads, and the place looking like the Moulon Rouge and the Broads doin’ Can-Can dancing and what not.
