Bock 6.5 º 37 IBU

Bierbrouwerij De Eem

Bronstig is a robust Dutch interpretation of a Dunkles Bock, showcasing a rich malt profile driven by Munich and Vienna malts. The sensory experience is defined by deeply toasted bread and Maillard-derived crust notes, balanced by a distinctively hoppy character that sets it apart from more traditional, malt-focused German examples. This brilliant brown lager with garnet highlights offers a complex interplay between dark caramel sweetness and a refined floral hop presence. The finish is well-attenuated and smooth, providing a clean lager character that allows the toasted malt depth and lingering herbal bitterness to shine without being cloying.

Appearance. Deep copper to dark brown with attractive garnet highlights. Brilliant clarity. Large, creamy, and persistent off-white to light tan head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity rich, bready-malty aroma with significant toasty Maillard products. Unlike classic examples, a moderate floral and herbal hop aroma is present. Clean fermentation profile with a subtle hint of dark fruit esters.

Taste. Rich, complex maltiness dominated by toasted bread and dark caramel. A moderate hop bitterness and herbal hop flavor provide more balance than typical for the style. Well-attenuated with a malty yet clean finish, devoid of any roasted, burnt, or harsh grain character. Slight notes of plum or dried fruit emerge as it warms.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, without any harshness or astringency.
