Impression: I love their Vollbier and this is what I like to see in a Bock, a big brother to their flagship beer with lots of the same characteristics. It’s malty without being sweet with some dried fruit and caramel thrown in for good measure but it remains dry in the finish which makes it moreish at 6.5%.
Next beer or back to the beer list.
