Leinenkugel 1888 Bock, a luscious brew, originally created to serve lumberjacks, will be available for all who want to try its excellent boutique of Caramel, Pale and two-row Chocolate malts. Cluster hops add a touch of citrus character and when combined with Munich malts and a 20- to 25-day cold lagering process, you have a truly timeless beer.

Bottle: Deep brown with amber tints, smaller beige head. Smells roasty and nutty, with some faint coffee grounds. Tastes malty and more or less watered down. Not much going on here over the watery lager malt taste.

Bottle from Total Wine - Midlothian on 04/10/2009. Clear dark amber body with ruby highlights and a small off-white head. Sweet toasty and bready aroma with a touch of molassas. Sweet caramel and molassas flavor with some toasty and bready notes. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a red-brown color with a medium sized tan head that faded fairly quickly. The aroma was sour and tangy with notes of coffee, chocolate and wood. The flavor was dryish, tangy and lightly fruity with hints of wood, roasty malts, caramel and smoke. The finish was long, dry, fruity and woody. Nice.

pours dark copper with thin beige head. Aroma has good notes of malts and caramel, remains very one dimensional. Taste, plenty of toasted malts with caramel aplenty with light hoppy plaate toward the finish. Crisp and drinkable. Much better than the rest of commercial Leinenkugels beers.

Bottle. Poured red brown with thick lasting white head. Faint aroma of malt, grass and something else. Fairly thin flavour, a little malt and a little caramel. Not much finish, a bit of caramel. Not a loser, but....

Smell is a little sweet. Good looking sparkling rootbeer appearance. Nice rocky tan head. Fairly mild for a bock but it comes across as enjoyable to this lager lover. Palate is somewhat thin and the sparkling carbonation does not carry over from appearence to mouth feel, somewhat flat. Refreshing burned something hiding in the background. Surprizingly, has an american dark lager appeal to it. Fairly well behaved and gentleman like. Finish has a tad of caroub or choco malt in there. Well controlled an mildly pleasant. I think I like these friendly dunkler bocks.

Rather disappointing. A dark red color, creamy head. Aroma has a touch of caramel, some spicy hop is understated. Flavor is pretty one dimensional with a light bready cookie-ish malt, hints of caramel. There’s a metallic like hop finish. The description states munich malt but it must have been used in very low proportion. This brewery knows how to make a bock dammit, but they completely chickened out of this one.

Bottle. Pours a transparent and reddish brown with a fairly small head and thin aromas of nuts, earth and grain dust. Flavor is fairly gross. Kind of a washed out bock with a bit of a bitter/chemical edge to it. Grrrr....

12 oz. bottle. Opened after the Super Bowl, no real reason. Pours dark brown, thin but bubbly head. Smells of a basic macro dark beer, but not bad. Tastes all right. I do get a nice dose of malt with some caramel to it, a tingle of bitterness. I guess I’d say it is a bit hearty, even chewy. Some body to it sets it just above ordinary mass produced lager. Actually got this at Dominick’s, but it’s at Binny’s in this area, too.
