Beers similar to Bock to Basic

Bock·Netherlands·6.5% ABV·One of 96 Bocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Bock to Basic's malty and caramel character. A classic bock at 6.5% ABV, brewed to a German recipe. Full-bodied and malty, with notes of caramel, chocolate and a hint of roasted nuts. Noble Hallertau and Saaz hops keep the bitterness gentle, and lager yeast holds it tight and drinkable. Bock to Basic is a one-off from Brouwerij Kees in Middelburg, in Zeeland, where Kees Bubberman opened the brewery in 2015.
