O-Bräu Winterbock (Kaiserhof)

O-Bräu Winterbock is brewed by Thomas Kaiser at the mother Kaiserhof brewery. It's heading into Doppelbock territory at 7.8%. While not prominent, the alcohol is obvious in both the honey tinged nose and richly malty palate. The O refers to the brewer's cat, Oskar.

Glenk Heller Bock

After some years being contract brewed by Stöckel in Hintergereuth, it appears Glenk has shifted to a closer contract brewer in neighbor Becher-Bräu. This Hellerbock is a fair example of the style with a rich golden hue and balanced richly malty palate.

Wagner Bräu (Oberhaid) Bock smoke

Wagner Bräu Bock is a rich malty beer of 7.5%. This new 2023 version had a light smoke element and none of the butter I found it to be loaded with in 2022.
