Snake River Bald Eagle Bock

Brewed by Snake River Brewing Co.
Style: Dunkler Bock
Jackson, Wyoming USA

Without getting to technical, this is one of the best beers I have ever tasted. The balanced residual sweetness is excellent as is the hop character. The high alcohol content was not noticeable to me. A simple description for a great bock.

Draught. Body is dark orange-brown. Aroma is lightly malty (caramel), lightly hoppy (grapefruit), moderately yeasty (dough), with notes of brown sugar and diacetyl, light note of alcohol. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, velvety texture, lively carbonation, lightly alcoholic. Pretty good flavor balance for the style, but the aroma has some problems.
