Rostocker Bock Dunkel
Rostock's Hanseatische Brauerei has been perfecting dark lagers since the 19th century, and this Bock is proof of their craft. Chestnut-brown and full-bodied at 6.9%, it opens with roasted malt, dark chocolate, and a caramel sweetness that builds slowly — nutty and toasty throughout, with just enough bitterness to keep it honest. A winter warmer that rewards slow sipping by the fire.
