Leinenkugel’s Toasted Bock is our refreshing take on a traditional bock beer – a style that originated in southern Germany in the early seventeenth century. We combine German and American ingredients to create a light, smooth and slightly toasty version of a bock beer. We hope you love it as much as we do! - The Leinenkugel Family

I have an appreciation for the style although it is nowhere near top-level. Generally the beers are all right, just not very challenging. This evening I have a 12 oz bottle of Toasted Bock that was obtained at the neighborhood HEB supermarket. There is my New Belgium globe glass out for the sampling and I tilt the bottle for the pour. I see a dark chocolate brown liquid with amber highlights showing with a backlight and a momentary head of light taupe foam. The scent is grain and something roasty. The drink is a nice surprise, a little more working here than I expected. A nutty flavor, toasted bread, field and just the barest bit of toffee sweetness. Not as thin as others. One of the better bocks I have sampled.

Aww hell this one fails to deliver. Promising start, a nice reddish brown color with modest head. Nose has a nice caramelized thing going on, but the sweet melanoidiny malt expected on the tongue is just barely there. Finishes with an earthy mild bitterness, I feel like I'm steeling from puboflyons below with that comment, but its really there. But there's just no depth, a tad thin in the body. Not that I'm expecting a big heavy complex beer here (I don't even want that), but its still just not where it needs to be.

Rather light, without the palate of the best bock's. Lightly toasted character.

It's an interesting idea that doesn't quite play out as well as it could have. I haven't infinity for toasty qualities in a good beer. This is okay but not very well balanced. I don't look forward to having another but It was nice to try.

Nutty chocolate malt and fresh hay aroma. Dark brown with large tan head. Moderately sweet nutty chocolate malt and mildly bitter/astringent fresh hay flavor. Good body. Nice.
