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.

Diminishing white head covers a chestnut brown body. Pretty ordinary toasted cereal nose, slightly influences by leafy hops. Weak grapey and woody undertones peak through here and there, but nothing particularly enticing comes out of it. Thin-medium body, mostly relaxing carbonation.

Slightly hazy brownish-amber colour. Slight woody note, with cocoa and straightforward maltiness. It’s a bit thin and metallic, but otherwise ok flavours balancing light dark malt notes with cocoa.

Cptn. 12oz bottle, from Heemer77? Served at ~56° in a lager glass. The beer is dark red with a wispy, khaki colored head and some fizz. The aroma is caramelly malt and yeast with some vanilla?and prunes? The taste is sweet caramel malt and brown sugar, with some backing hops (an alcohol or acidity) that keeps the malt at bay (to a point). Has a nice, full mouthfeel. Nice enough beer.

dark garnet brown and clear color, medium tan foamy tall head that has medium last. aroma is lots of chocolate malt, some sour grassiness, and raw almonds. flavor is caramel malt, maybe a little cocoa, and sour wheat. mouthfeel goes creamy from the very high carbonation, but otherwise mostly thin body. no this is not a big beer, but nice to have as a light version of a chocolate bock for the summer. thans Secret Santa for my first Iowa beer, whoever you are!!

thanks to heemer for this. Pours a reddish brown color w/ a nice thick tan head ok lacing. Smells of wheat carmel malts and hints of chocolate and a little bread. Pal is highly carbonated good mouth feel nice creaminess. Flavor is a roast malt light bittering hints of semi sweet chocolate and wheat. A pretty good brew.

355ml brown bottle, thanks to heemer77. Red brown pour. White head didn’t last long, left sticky lace in the glass. Light choclate and malt aroma. Very choclatey brew, smooth, light bodied. Subdued sweetness, choclate malts linger in aftertaste.

12oz bottle, looks like BB January, so this has been sitting a couple months. Chestnut brown color, poured with a nice head, but it dropped out. Nuts, chocolate, malt, bit of raisin in the aroma. Nice aroma. Smooth, full-bodied malty beer...finishes sweet but crisp. Pretty nice bock beer, chocolatey, malty goodness.
