drank at the brewpub in Firenze.
a: a murky mixture of brown, purple, faint ruby red colors. pours with a large flat head that reduces down to a thin off-white film
s: caramel, fresh dough, figs, plums
t: follows the nose pretty well. fresh bready dough right away. behind that, big caramel malts with a hint of molasses. some fig behind that, with a nice earthy note to end it
m: medium mouthfeel with almost no carbonation
o: a little light for the Bock style, BUT the mouthfeel is such that it makes up for it. for me, this is a little bit behind the benchmark bocks, but it is easily drinkable, and does taste better than a mediocre beer.

Tried on-tap at Mostodolce in Firenze. They listed this as a "bock" with an ABV of 6.4%.
Pours a reddish amber colour with a solid, glistening body riddled with haze. Weight is decent. Head forms an off-white cask-like crest, but settles out to a middling foam that leaves patches of lace. Carbonation is either absent or not visible. Looks pretty decent though.
Nose is unfortunately pretty weak. A little caramel and perhaps a little roasted note—more like something burnt in the far distance perhaps. Some smooth grainy characters come through a little as it warms, but it's all still very faint—there's not much going on.
Light grainy entry on the palate with a touch of cereal. This all improves quickly though, with a solid caramel mid=palate matched with a pleasant savoury ash character. Plenty of malt through to the finish, which is smooth and long, with some lingering roast in the aftertaste.
Feel is very smooth, something they really get right here it seems at Mostodolce.
Overall: pretty drinkable, pretty solid. I think their pils was both a better beer and a better example of the style, but this was another solid offering, and made me believe there are good things going on in that dodgy hole of a brewpub.
