Nothelfer Silberbock

Tap to rate

A winter bock available from November to January, red-gold in the glass under a fine white head. Alongside roasted notes, the nose carries an intense scent of freshly grated sweet apple. On the palate honey and citrus unfold together with a warming alcohol note that recalls fully ripe strawberries. A restrained bitterness gives way quickly to a nutty echo that lingers.

Honey and citrus unfold across the palate with a soft, warming alcohol presence that echoes ripe strawberry. Bitterness arrives restrained and measured, stepping back quickly to reveal a nutty, almost almond-like echo in the mid-palate. The flavor arc moves from fruited sweetness through subtle spice to a lingering nutty dryness.
