Bock
West Side Brewing

 

12 ounce can, canned 02/13/24 stamped on the bottom of the can. Label says 7.5% ABV. Thanks to Brutaltruth for this one! Served in a pint glass, the beer pours a somewhat cloudy reddish/copper color with not quite an inch off-white head that stuck around a little bit. Not much lacing at all. I like the aroma, the brew smells like caramel, brown sugar, black tea, raisins and some earthiness. Taste is similar to the aroma, but with the addition of some breadiness and herbal flavors too. Leans sweeter tasting but not overwhelmingly so. Mouthfeel/body is medium, it's a bit slick and smooth with a moderate amount of carbonation. I liked this one, would like to try this again sometime in the future!

From the growler via Jungle Jim's in a snifter. This solid little bock pours a
red tinged dark brwon with a decent head of khaki foam that settles to a
thick ring, thin layer, and displays some light lacing. Nose of dark breaded malts,
raisins, and dark brown sugars. Flavors are exceptional to the style with
dark raisin bread, brown sugars, touch of toffee, nice herbal hops, and
subtle dark sweet cherry. Mouth feel is medium, medium light carbonation,
smooth, and finishing lightly dry.

overall, a SOLID bock!

Cheers
