Beers similar to Sonnwendbock

Bock·Austria·7.2% ABV·One of 205 Bocks in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Sonnwendbock's malty and full-bodied character. Amber-coloured and bottom-fermented: a light scent of caramel and honey, süffig on the palate with a dominant malt body and warming honey, caramel and spice notes. As a Celtic magic potion it recalls the Celts who settled in the region and were the first brewing pioneers. It is a seasonal beer of the Wimitz special line that starts every November and lasts while stocks last.
