🌍 Germany · Bock · One of 52 Bocks in hopIQ

A malt-forward dark bock brewed with dark malts and a small share of speciality malt at about 17.8 °P, dark brown in the glass and available from early November. The brewery names coffee and chocolate as its main notes, joined by bread crust, caramel and a hint of dried fruit. Hops stay in the background, the body is full and smooth, and the alcohol gives a gentle warmth to the long malty finish.
