3 Schwestern Bock

Tap to rate

An organic bock of 16.9 °P named after the Drei Schwestern massif above Frastanz, the mountain that also appears in the brewery's logo. Organic malt and a long maturation give it a firm body. It is amber and bright. Orange-chocolate shavings and hot cocoa lead the nose; the palate is livelier and more bitter than many bocks, driven by orange zest and a light roast bitterness over a solid malt base.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced orange zest and chocolate shavings, followed by a warm note of hot cocoa. Underneath lies a clean, malty foundation from extended maturation, with subtle roast character that adds depth without dominance. The overall aromatics are balanced and inviting, with no sharp alcohol bite.

◐ Taste

The palate displays a firm, full-bodied structure built on solid malted grain character. Orange bitterness and light roast notes drive the mid-palate with more vigor than typical of the style, creating a lively interplay between sweet malt and measured bitterness. The finish carries the roast and citrus elements through cleanly, with no cloying sweetness.
