Winter Honey Bock

◎ Aussehen

Light amber hue with a soft, warm glow that speaks to its 15 SRM depth. The unfiltered character creates a subtle haze, allowing light to diffuse gently through the glass. A modest but persistent head forms with fine Schaumkleiden that cling to the sides as the beer settles.

◌ Aroma

Forest honey dominates the nose with a floral, almost herbal sweetness that sets this Bock apart from its cleaner cousins. Beneath lies a warm, enveloping Malz character from the Munich and caramel blend, grounding the bouquet. Cascade and Mosaic hops add a gentle herbal whisper without asserting themselves, allowing the honey and malt to lead.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with caramel sweetness and a rich, honeyed malt body that fills the mouth fully. Mid-palate brings a soft, malty richness supported by restrained Edelhopfen bitterness at 25 IBU—enough to frame the sweetness without dominating it. The finish is clean and warming, with the 6% ABV providing a gentle, smooth boozy character that lingers softly.

◑ Abgang

The aftertaste holds a gentle honey-caramel note that fades gradually, leaving warmth in the chest. A lingering smoothness persists without harshness or astringency.
