| Malty, strong winter beers are smooth and rich - in the heritage of the style of beers encompassed by the ancient and vague term "bock". Our recent desire to overdefine often causes us tension - relax, have a beer. |
| While the texture of a bock beer is agreed as rich and smooth, the colour and alcohol is up for grabs - not pale nor black in colour, not light nor (traditionally) extremely high in alcohol. |
| This version of a bock recipe contains a solid alcohol and a quite dark colour - many bock beers are more alcoholic, while many are less rich in colour.. |
| The bock beer style suggests a beer that can be savoured - one that provides more depth of character than either a golden lager or a dark lager. |
| A fine blend of malts, well brewed with a spicy hop, produces a rich and enjoyable bock. |
