Beers similar to Oikenbock

Bock·Netherlands·6.5% ABV·One of 161 Bocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Oikenbock's caramel and malty character. Caramel, roasted malt and dark fruit lead this dark, malty autumn bock, rounded off by a soft touch of oak rather than a pronounced woody taste. During lagering it takes on a subtle influence of American medium-toast oak. Bitterness stays modest, which keeps the full maltiness centre stage. The name is West Frisian for 'oak bock'. Ruby red, 6.5% ABV, released from 15 September while stocks last.
