Bock 6.5 º 20 IBU

Geipel Brewing

Geipel Brewing Bock is a robust and hearty expression of the Dunkles Bock style, emphasizing a deep, bready-malty core. Utilizing Munich and Vienna malts, this unfiltered strong lager showcases rich Maillard-derived characteristics of toasted bread crust and subtle dark caramel. The 6.5% ABV provides a sophisticated, well-integrated warmth that complements the smooth, medium-full body without introducing harshness. While the lack of filtration adds a rustic depth, the fermentation remains exceptionally clean. It avoids hop prominence, focusing instead on a balanced play between malty sweetness and a clean, attenuated finish that highlights the premium quality of traditional continental grains.

Appearance. Deep copper to brown with distinct garnet highlights; slightly hazy due to being unfiltered. Supports a large, creamy, persistent off-white head with excellent lacing.

Aroma. Medium-high intensity of rich, bready-malty aromas with prominent toasty overtones and Maillard products. Virtually no hop aroma. Clean lager character with very faint dark fruit esters and a subtle hint of alcohol warmth.

Taste. Initial malt-forward impression with complex, toasty-rich flavors of Munich malt and bread crust. Hop bitterness is low to moderate, providing a supportive balance that allows a touch of malty sweetness to linger without being cloying. No hop flavor or roasted, burnt characteristics. Clean finish with a lingering, rich grain character.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but gentle alcohol warmth is present, adding to the beer's substantial feel without any astringency.
