Commercial Description:
Leinenkugel 1888 Bock, a lucisous brew, originally created to serve lumberjacks, will be available for all who want to try its excellent boutique of Caramel, Pale and two-row Chocolate malts. Cluster hops add a touch of citrus character and when combined with Munich malts and a 20- to 25-day cold lagering process, you have a truly timeless beer.

Not bad - attains a craft brew feel. A bit dark and I would expect a slightly cleaner finish from a bock of this strength, but flavor of malt comes though well. Could detect a distint caramel flavor as well.

Bottle: Poured a brown with a tan color head. The aroma is a mix of malts, caramel, and light fruit. Taste is chocolate with malts. Dry metallic finish.

Smell is a little sweet. Good looking sparkling rootbeer appearance. Nice rocky tan head. Fairly mild for a bock but it comes across as enjoyable to this lager lover. Palate is somewhat thin and the sparkling carbonation does not carry over from appearence to mouth feel, somewhat flat. Refreshing burned something hiding in the background. Surprizingly, has an american dark lager appeal to it. Fairly well behaved and gentleman like. Finish has a tad of caroub or choco malt in there. Well controlled an mildly pleasant. I think I like these friendly dunkler bocks.

Nice dark cooper color with a medium sized tan head that left some lacing. Sweet mixture of malts and some hops in the aroma. PhillyBeer2112 hit the taste pretty well, a bready cookie-ish malt flavor and the finish is somewhat metallic and leaves the mouth coated with a not so pleasant feel. Overall a bit watered down.

Pours a dark copper with a nice head that laces well.. Aroma was a mix of hop and malt, with the initial sniff more hoppy. Good mouth feel with a malty flavor, with very mild hopping. Nice aftertaste.

Bottle from Keg Liquor. Poured clear deep brown with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate complex toasted sweet malty aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Moderate balanced malty sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration. Good drinkable brew.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium-large off-white head. Aroma is a mix of roast malt and hops. Flavor is mostly roats malt and spice with a little hop to balance out the flavor. My favorite Leinie’s beer so far.

Rather disappointing. A dark red color, creamy head. Aroma has a touch of caramel, some spicy hop is understated. Flavor is pretty one dimensional with a light bready cookie-ish malt, hints of caramel. There’s a metallic like hop finish. The description states munich malt but it must have been used in very low proportion. This brewery knows how to make a bock dammit, but they completely chickened out of this one.
