Commercial Description:
Just in time for the holidays is our special treat. A dark and chewy bock beer. Around November you’ll find ’chocolate bock’ on tap down at the brewery. The history of Bock beer is a complicated one, going all the way back the dark ages in Europe. In the 14th century, the city of Einbeck became famous for this style of beer. So thats where the name "beck" or "bock" has come from. No other beer has a more pure and intense malt character as a true Bock. Many large breweries in the U.S. have diluted the original strength of this beer, but we make the real thing. The body of this beer is rich, making it a good beer to warm up to during those "special" Iowa winters. The blackened malt that we use in it gives the brew a slight hint of chocolate. Its a smooth brew, having been lagered for over a month in our cellars, in true bock style.

Bottled, thanks heemer77. Dark brown colour, small brown head. Chocolate in aroma and malts in aroma. Roasted chocolate in flavour, the finnish becomes a bit chocolateish. A bit thin, but hell, this is good.

Ruby-amber color, small coffee head. Grassy hoppy and milk chocolate in the aroma. Coffee beans, chocolate chips and grassy hops in the flavor.Not very bock-like, quite light malt-wise, but very drinkable, not too sweet at least.

Draft. I’ve had this several times. Attractive clear dark ruby brown color with tan head. Malty aroma of chocolate, subdued roastiness, and toffee. Medium bodied. Tasted of chocolate and a hint of coffee with a dark fruit accent. Pretty good beer.

Bottle. Pours dark brown and the head was thin and tan. Caramel roasted malt aroma. Caramel malt flavor with a chocolate hint, lightly hopped. Seem a water down.

Semi-dark brown and clean looking body. The nose is right on for a bock: a little maple, a little dark wood, and little brown sugar and a little spiciness from the yeast. Taste-wise it’s fresh and clean with a nice nut and wood flavor, a bit bold or hefty on the tongue, and moderately bitter. Finishes with a residual coating of caramel, wood and some light roasted malts. Very nice example.

Lightly roasty aroma with some biscuity malts. Clear brown body with a low, off white head that recedes immediately to the slightest ring. Roasted and biscuity malts are mild in the rather bland flavour. Thin, watery, light body. Bottle sampled at DenverLogan’s pre-GABF party 2005.

Bottle. Pours dark nut brown with a small frothy tan head. Caramel and medium roasted malt and yeast aroma with fruit (grape) notes. Brown sugar caramel nutty malt flavor with milk chocolate and cocoa notes, lightly hopped and acidic. Medium bodied and fizzy, dry palate.
