Willy Wonka Bock

Tap to rate

A strong bock in sparkling red mahogany with a firm head that the brewery compares to the crema of a cappuccino. The nose is a basket of ripe fruit: peach and melon first, then apple, orange, pineapple and banana. It starts oily and soft with a nectar-like, velvety sweetness reminiscent of honey and liqueur. Strong caramel notes follow, then a distinct bitterness and a warming alcoholic finish. Recommended with spicy dishes or pungent cheese.

◐ Taste

Entry is oily and soft with a nectar-like, velvety sweetness reminiscent of honey and liqueur.

The structure builds toward a warming, slightly dry finish with emerging hop bite.
