From the menu: Brewed to help celebrate "Brew Years Eve", the April 7th anniversary of the repeal of prohibition. We came across this formula for the pre-prohibition American-style Bock. Called a malt tonic, the formula had an obscure and unexplained reference stating it was * "Guaranteed not to be medicated to such an extent as to preclude its use as a beverage" Boscos stands by that guarantee!
* R. Wahl and M. Henius, American Handy Book of the Brewing, Malting and Auxiliary Trades (Wahl-Henius Institute, Chicago, 1908)
The pint arrived topped with a sand colored head of fine bubbles that settled to a short collar that left modest lacing. The smell is malty and nutty with restrained hop notes. The taste is rich and malty sweet, but not in a cloying way. There are nutmeat notes and a gentle hop finish that complimented and lingered for only a short time. The mouthfeel is smooth and the carbonation a bit peppery. Medium bodied. The pint was emptied in no time each drop was enjoyed.
