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.

Good scent. It’s a beautiful dark reddish. The flavor is not nearly as impressive as I wanted it to be. Good deal.

12 oz. bottle from Plaza Liquors - Pours a clear deep reddish brown color with a 1/2 finger thick light tan head. Very light lacing. Aroma is caramel malt and herbal hops. Flavor is much of the same. Light to medium body. Nothing special, but worth a try.

Clear dark brown body with a white head that makes a quick disappearance. Light aroma of cookie dough and grass. Medium, somewhat watery palate. The flavor is a bit weak for a bock. Caramel and malty sweetness up front and grassy hops at the end. Nothing too exciting, but easy to drink.

Clear, garnet-amber in color with a small, off-white head that is mostly diminishing, leaving thin, slippery lacing. Molasses and husky grain aroma. Metallic (copper) flavor with light straw and hay, followed with a light caramelly maltiness. Crisp, slightly medicinal finish. Light-to-moderate carbonation and nice body. However, overall this is an unexciting and bland bock.

Bottle. Dark reddish brown with a beige hea..... hey, where did it go? Faint aromas of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough being sniffed through a tiny hole in the tube. Sweet nutty doughy flavor, as expected. No hops, thin body, dry finish, easy to drink but doesn’t taste like much. Another pseudo bock that doesn’t do to much, but will be popular because it goes down like water and looks like a decent beer. Oh well.

Clear, dark red-brown pour. A significant beige head dissipates to leave a decent lacing. Aroma is faint, and what’s there is sulfury. Flavor has some pleasant grassy hops, but is mostly just stale, cardboard with some vegetable and sulfur elements. Somewhat caramelized and toasty on the finish. Thin to medium body, effervescent in the mouth, swallows smoothly.

Smells like freshly laid carpet. There is also some chocolate, roasted malt, raisins, and herbs. The appearance is brown with a respectable head that leaves lace. The flavor is about what I would expect a carpet to taste like. It does have the other elements from the aroma but way too much in the off department to be enjoyable. The palate is OK. Overall a rather typical beer from this brewer.
