Bock 6.7 º

Brauerei Altenburg

Altenburger Bock is a powerful expression of German brewing tradition, showcasing a deeply toasted malt profile characteristic of a Dunkles Bock. Expect an assertive presence of Munich and Vienna malts, delivering rich layers of Maillard-driven bread crust and soft caramel. The beer pours a clear, brilliant amber-copper, topped with a creamy, persistent head. On the palate, the decadent malt sweetness is expertly balanced by a clean lager fermentation and restrained bitterness, ensuring a smooth, warming finish. Subtle notes of dark fruit provide complexity without overshadowing the core bready essence, resulting in a robust yet highly drinkable strong lager.

Appearance. Light copper to deep amber (14–22 SRM) with attractive garnet highlights. Brilliant clarity. Large, creamy, persistent, off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Medium-high rich bready-malty aroma with prominent Maillard products and toasty overtones. Virtually no hop aroma. Clean lager character with a slight, allowable dark fruit ester and a subtle hint of alcohol.

Taste. Medium-high complex, rich maltiness dominated by toasty Maillard products and soft caramel. Hop bitterness is low but sufficient to support the malt without being sweet in the finish. Well-attenuated and clean, lacking any hop flavor or roasted, burnt, or harsh characters. Slight dark fruit notes linger in the aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth without harshness or astringency.
