This beer is Brewed in the style of a traditional German bock. It is a deep amber-colored lager beer that has been aged for at least a month before serving to make it a smooth and balanced brew. The first thing you notice about the flavor is the sweetness, which comes from a large addition of crystal malt. There is a hint of roasted or bitter chocolate flavor from the chocolate malt, balanced by a mellow bitterness from imported German hops. This is a beer with big flavors, yet they combine into a silky, subtle brew which is the perfect accompaniment for a rainy spring day.
