Schwanenbräu Weihnachtsbock
The Weihnachtsbock is Schwanenbräu's seasonal strong beer, on offer at the inn from December. Despite the Christmas name it is a pale bock: golden and clear with a stable, fine-bubbled white head. The nose shows malt with a honey-like sweetness and a light yeasty note. On the palate it starts gently sweet, then turns noticeably hoppy and bitter for the style, which keeps the strength in check. The finish is slightly sticky.
