omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden May 1, 2002 Red-brown. Buttery with crystal malt character. Full bodied. Balanced sweetness and bitterness.
Bov (4659), Bienne, Switzerland Aug 2, 2001 red-brown colour, few head, roasted, caramel, sweet, very malty, long aftertaste - beautiful beerguy101 (3488), Newark, California, USA Oct 2, 2002 Deep red brown color, small head. A ‘dunkel’ bock. Pronounced roasted malts, slightly hoppy spiciness/sweetness. Even though it’s a 7.2% beer, there is not a lot of alcohol bite, lots of flavor. Finish is smooth. Aftertaste is malty and hoppy, very little bitterness. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA Nov 1, 2002 Updated: Jun 26, 2003You've simply gotta respect a US brewery that brews TWO bocks and TWO doppelbocks. Now that's focus. This, in my mind, is THE bock brewery (no, Shiner's not in the same league). A slightly sweet, 7.2% abv brew that'll kick your ass if you give it half a chance. It's halfway to a doppel and I respect that. Very malty and almost rich and sweet. Very nice. What Shiner Bock outta be. Gusler (2656), Tucson, Arizona, USA Sep 20, 2000 As much as I love stouts and porters, ’Bocks’ are my favorite Spring Beers. This dark bock is hearty to say the least, hoppy, aromatic and a big malt nose. A bock lovers bock.
