Egger Bock

Tap to rate

Full-bodied, a seasonal beer that appears only at Christmas and Easter, so there is always an occasion to go with it. Brewed in Egg with decoction mashing, spring water from the Winterstaude and no flash pasteurisation. For sale at the brewery's loading ramp it is also filled by hand into large swing-top bottles.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Egger Bock

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to copper-brown in the glass, reflecting the decoction mashing method and moderate caramelization of the Malz. The head is dense and persistent, with fine Schaumkleiden that cling to the glass. Clarity is bright, with lively carbonation that sustains throughout.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted and biscuity Malz character, complemented by soft caramel notes and a subtle mineral backdrop from the Winterstaude spring water. Noble hop presence is restrained and refined, offering a whisper of herbal depth without dominating. No harsh phenolics or off-notes—clean fermentation from the yeast comes through.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied entry with a substantial malt backbone of bread crust and light toffee, the result of the decoction process. Bitterness is moderate and well-integrated at 25 IBU, providing structure without sharpness. The mid-palate carries warm, slightly sweet grain notes that taper into a clean, malt-driven finish.
