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.

From the bottle pours mahogany, good clarity, with a small off-white head. Sweet nose, sweet caramel and doughy. Fairly heavy body, sweet toasty caramel malt start finish balanced bitter and a touch astringent.

Handsome pour from the bottle, a deep caramel/amber body with a tall, sustained light tan head and loads of lacing. The aroma is sweet and malty with a splash of caramel and some burnt chocolate. The flavor is like chocolate chip cookie dough with a dash of caramel and a light earthy bitterness. Not bad. Purchased at Wise Guys in Merrillville, IN.

12 oz bottle. Pours a dark brown body with slight malt aroma. The taste is malt, easy to drink.

Pours reddish brown. Aroma is light maltiness with caramel standing out. Flavor is unimpressive very light malty notes and an odd bitter finish.

Thank you Leinenkugels for doing this, I needed a little faith in you. Aroma is mildly roasty, with some raisin, and a little nuttiness. The beer pours with a very nice head with wonderful retention and gorgeous lace. The color is a light chestnut. The flavor is good but not overwhelmingly so. This is certainly nutty, largely dry, and very mildly hoppy. Some light apple and plum round it out. Overall the palate is pretty weak and the beer is mildly watery, but by no means is it unforgivable.

Pours dark amber red/brown with a pillowy light tan head. Aroma is very malty and grainy with some small spiciness and some very light caramel and toffee notes. Flavor starts with a a lot of the same caramel and toffee sweetness. A hint of dark fruitiness adds some zest in the middle and very little bitterness. A small bit of astringency in the finish and aftertaste which is grainy. Medium to full body and moderate carbonation. This beer does not have any really strong defining character and blends as a run of the mill bock.

This poured a deep amber to brown color with a beige head. The aroma is faint with some chocolate and caramel. The flavor is malty with some chocolate, toffee, and caramel notes. The palate is rather thin on this one. Overall not impressive but not horrid either.
