BJCP 5B

BJCP 2008 5B Traditional Bock style example
5B - Bock / Traditional Bock

 

IMPRESSION

A dark, strong, malty lager beer.

COMMENTS

Decoction mashing and long boiling plays an important part of flavor development, as it enhances the caramel and melanoidin flavor aspects of the malt. Any fruitiness is due to Munich and other specialty malts, not yeast-derived esters developed during fermentation.

EXAMPLES

Einbecker Ur-Bock Dunkel, Pennsylvania Brewing St. Nick Bock, Aass Bock, Great Lakes Rockefeller Bock, Stegmaier Brewhouse Bock
