Our Cacao Bock is a powerful dark brown lager with a high and creamy light brown head made with lots of chocolate malt and Red Mayan – genuine Honduran cocoa beans from Mikkel Friis-Holm. Full-bodied but not sweet.

Copenhagen 16/10 2021. 50 cl bottle from Meny, Rotunden, Hellerup. As Bryghuset No5 Cacao Bock. Label in No5's usual shining star in light beige and maroon.

Pours opaque dark brown with a mid-sized off-white head. Settles as thin but consistent layer of foam just covering the surface of the beer. Clinging to the sides of the glass. Substantial lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet malty odor mingling with sugary fumes and a light grainy sourness. Dark sweet malts, brown sugar, cocoa and chocolate. Metallic alcohol peeking in.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, lightly tingling texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a strong sweetness bordering on being sugary. Followed by a moderately strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sweetish and lingers for a while. Finish is sweet with a light boozy burn.

Nice fit between sweet chocolate and slightly boozy Bock.
