Ott Bock-Bier

◎ Appearance

A clear amber pour with a robust, honey-gold hue that speaks to its 16.5° Stammwürze foundation. The head arrives dense and persistent, clinging to the glass in fine lacing as the beer settles. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a gentle effervescence without harsh prickling.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft malt richness—bread crust and honey notes emerge first, followed by subtle toasted grain undertones. Noble hop character is restrained but present, offering a gentle herbal backdrop that supports rather than dominates the malty frame. A whisper of yeast cleanliness rounds out the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

On the palate, malt fullness takes center stage with bready, slightly sweet notes that carry through the mid-palate without becoming cloying. The bitterness remains moderate and balanced, allowing the malt complexity to breathe. A smooth, clean finish on the tongue leaves no harsh edges, only a lingering warmth and subtle grain sweetness.

◑ Finish

The finish unfolds gradually, with the malt character fading into a gentle, warming aftertaste. A dry, slightly grainy note lingers, characteristic of the Franconian Bock tradition.

Serve at 9–12°C for the best flavour balance and aroma expression.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
