This is a wonderful pale bock. Copper, it has a big offi-white head slowly shrinking to a thin, wispy top. The aroma is brown bread, crust, raisins, grapes, pine bark, earthy leaves, and more bread. The taste is zesty, raisniy, butter-toffee, bread, and a bit spicey. It’s very nice, smooth, highly drinkable, with the alcohol well-hideen but adding a nice zesty warmth and body.

Well-rounded Bock (02.05.07).
