A German style lager, our Bock carries a brownish color, a medium body, and a mouthwatering smoothness from the wonderful malt and sweet caramel flavors. Malty, nutty sweetness and subtle hints of caramel.

Tap at GC Madison. Burgundy tinted-brown with an excessive head. Sweet brown sugar aroma, maybe a touch of coffee. True to style, albeit a little thin and watery. Nutty, smooth lager tones. Smooth brown chocolate. Mild, decent beer.

Draft: Poured a brown red with a white head. There wasn’t much of a nose on this one. Taste sour malt sort of roast and caramel in the back end which picks this beer up on the palate.

Tap. Caramel malt and very light alcohol aroma. Amber color with small head. Sweet caramel malt flavor with light astringent finish. Decent - kind of a mellower version though.
