This Dunkles Bock presents a unique twist on the traditional strong German lager, bolstered by the addition of Indrayani Rice which lends a distinctively crisp, sparkling edge to the otherwise rich profile. Dominated by the deeply toasted Maillard notes of Munich and Vienna malts, the sensory experience is anchored in bready richness and subtle dark fruit. At 8% ABV, a refined alcohol warmth emerges, balancing the bold malt backbone. While traditionally malt-forward, this expression features a mild hoppy lift that integrates with the rice-driven lightness, resulting in a balanced, boozy lager that finishes cleaner and more refreshing than typical examples of the style.

Appearance. Deep copper to mahogany with brilliant clarity and attractive garnet highlights. Topped by a large, creamy, and persistent off-white foam head that leaves moderate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Prominent bready and toasty malt character with notes of bread crust and light caramel. A unique, clean graininess from the Indrayani Rice complements a subtle floral hop presence. Very low dark fruit esters and a noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth are present. Clean fermentation with no sulfur or diacetyl.

Taste. Initial impression is of rich, toasted malt and bready flavors. The mid-palate introduces a slight sweetness that is quickly balanced by the lightening effect of the rice and a moderate alcohol presence. Hop bitterness is low but sufficient to prevent cloying, while hop flavor is very low and floral. The finish is surprisingly crisp and well-attenuated for the style, with lingering toasted malt and a gentle warmth.

Mouthfeel. Medium body, appearing slightly lighter than standard due to high attenuation and rice adjunct. High carbonation provides a sparkling, tongue-tingling sensation. Noticeable alcohol warmth is present but smooth and well-integrated. Creamy texture with no harshness or astringency.
