Samson Bock
A strong full-malt bock-type beer in a bright amber colour, with fruity notes and a delicate caramel flavour. Samson's brewers took inspiration from the art of the late 19th century and from a 124-year-old book published for the brewery's 100th anniversary. The beer won the World's Best Lager Bock title at the World Beer Awards 2022, followed by silver in 2023 and 2025.
