Fiedler Bockbier

Tap to rate

A dark bock (6.5 % ABV, 16.5 °P) with a pronounced malty aroma, a pleasantly light bitterness and a full-bodied, aromatic taste.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and smooth on entry, with rich malt sweetness balanced by a pleasantly light bitterness that sits at 25 IBU. The mid-palate develops caramel and bread-like notes, while the body remains substantial without heaviness. Alcohol warmth emerges gradually, adding depth without roughness.
