Commercial Description:
2008. Created by homebrewer Alex Drobshoff. Alex’s Brew is a bright copper German inspired bock with a complex, full bodied mouthfeel. Hints of rich plum and cherry aromas paired with its toasty, malt flavor make this the perfect beer to linger over on a cool evening.

Pours a transparent dark copper brown with a thin froth of off-white head. Aroma of sweet doughy dark caramel German malts with a hint of brown sugar and noble hops. Starts with good fullness and a rich, doughy dark caramel husky sweetness with some light fruity tones and a full bodied, yet very drinkable sweet malty finish. Has just the right amount of noble hoppy bitterness throughout. A very well made and true to style Dunkler Bock that is amazingly drinkable.
