Bock 16

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to chestnut brown, with a semi-dark character that hints at substantial grain work. The unfiltered, unpasteurised nature shows as light haze throughout. A creamy, persistent head forms and clings to the glass with good lacing.

◌ Aroma

Malty forward, with toasted bread and soft caramel notes anchoring the nose. The Žatecký poloraný červeňák, Sládek and Premiant hops contribute restrained herbal and floral undertones without dominating. A gentle, yeasty warmth rounds out the profile.

◐ Taste

Decidedly full-bodied on entry, with a rich malty sweetness of bread crust and subtle caramel that carries through the mid-palate. Moderate hop bitterness emerges cleanly without harshness, balancing the grain's depth. The 6.6% ABV sits warm but integrated, never harsh.

◑ Finish

Medium-long and graceful, with malt sweetness slowly receding into a dry, lightly herbal aftertaste. The alcohol presence lingers warmly without becoming boozy or cloying.
