Bòck Brûlée is a decadent reimagining of a Dunkles Bock, blending traditional German lager craftsmanship with dessert-inspired complexity. The sensory profile is anchored by a rich base of Munich and Vienna malts, delivering deep toasty Maillard notes and bready depths. This is elevated by a distinct addition of roasted caramel and a delicate infusion of vanilla, creating an aromatic profile reminiscent of burnt sugar and custard. At 7% ABV, it offers a gentle warmth that complements its medium-full body. The result is a harmonious balance where classic malty richness meets a modern, velvety sweetness, finishing clean yet indulgent.
Appearance.Deep mahogany to dark brown with vibrant garnet highlights (18–22 SRM). Displays excellent clarity and is topped by a large, creamy, and persistent light tan head that leaves fine lacing.
Aroma.Medium-high intensity with a focus on rich, bready Munich malt and toasted crusts. The traditional profile is enhanced by prominent notes of burnt caramel and floral vanilla. No hop aroma is present. Clean fermentation character with a subtle hint of dark fruit esters such as plum.
Taste.The palate is dominated by complex, toasty malt and rich Maillard products. Initial impressions of crusty bread are quickly followed by a specialty sweetness of caramelized sugar and smooth vanilla. Hop bitterness is low, providing just enough support to balance the malt without being assertive. The finish is lingering and malty-sweet but avoids being cloying, maintaining the smooth, well-attenuated character of a strong German lager.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate to moderately low, enhancing the creamy mouthfeel. A pleasant, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without any harshness or astringency.
