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.

Copper color, clear. Slight roasty aroma. Somewhat malty and roasted flavor but not very bock-like. Too little body for a bock.

Pours a darker amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet with caramel malts and a hint of chocolate malts. Sweet flavor from the caramel malts with only a hint of the chocolate. Pretty sweet all the way through with minimal bitterness.

12oz bottle from Swolf3, thanks for sending this Steven. Super dark amber/red pour with a light tan head, pretty brew. Light roasted malt aroma, slightly sweet a little bit of caramel too. Sweet, a bit thin though, but it is only 5% so I didn’t expect alot of complex flavor. Still pretty decent.

From a 12 fl. oz. bottle marked O4279-C20647. It pours a decent looking mahogany brown with a good clarity but little to no head or lacing. The aroma has the scent of stale malts and crusty bread. A weaker mouthfeel but not watered down at all. The flavor is a tad bitter but not very yeasty like typical bocks. It is kind of like a sweet bitter (if that makes sense). Not bad.

Dark amber with white head. Like many other from this brewer it is a decent beer, just kind of bland for the style it is representing. Overall decent, but not specatacular.

[Bottle] Pours a dark amber with off white head. Aroma is malty with a hint of chocolate. Taste is mostly caramal and malt. A little bittersweet chocolate and some hops. A slightly bitter note in the finish.
