hopIQ found 10 beers that share Festbock's malty and caramel character. The lightest of Eggenberg's bock beers, bottled shortly before Easter and Christmas after nine weeks of maturation. It was once mainly nourishment for Lent, when beer served as food. Today it is a seasonal bock from Schloss Eggenberg in Vorchdorf, Upper Austria, where the Stöhr family runs the brewery in its eighth generation.
