Allgäuer Brauhaus Steinbock

◎ Appearance

Deep reddish-amber hue with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head that clings to the glass. The color displays the telltale warmth of select darker malts while maintaining the brightness typical of well-executed Bock. Fine carbonation produces steady streams that support robust foam retention.

◌ Aroma

Aromatic roast notes emerge first, with subtle bread and caramel undertones from the malt bill. No aggressive hop character interrupts—instead, a quiet, dignified nose that speaks to careful grain selection and restrained noble hop use. Mild warmth suggests the 7.2% ABV without shouting.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a round, malty sweetness offset by gentle roast complexity. The full, robust body carries the strength without heaviness, allowing the subtle bitterness (16 IBU) to provide shape rather than dominance. Flavors remain integrated and balanced, with no harsh edges despite the substantial gravity.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with a dry roast fade and lingering malt sweetness. Warmth sits pleasantly in the throat without burning, leaving the palate ready for another sip.
