Notes:
Leinenkugel’s Toasted Bock is our refreshing take on a traditional bock beer – a style that originated in southern Germany in the early seventeenth century. We combine German and American ingredients to create a light, smooth and slightly toasty version of a bock beer. We hope you love it as much as we do! - The Leinenkugel Family

Six-pack of twist top bottles,poured in to a pint glass. Pours a mahogany brown color with a thin head. Smells of molasses. Taste is typical of a bock, with a fuller malt flavor and the acerbic finish. It's better than a traditional Bock.

by Suds from Missouri
From a twelve ounce aluminum can, this brew is a dark brown color with a tall cream colored head. The aroma has a little malt note, but it isn't as intense as I expected. The taste is similar, it's balanced, but very quiet. A modest and uninteresting beer. Light-to-medium in body and largely forgettable.

12oz bottle into Sam Adams Perfect Pint Glass.
the beer pours a crystal clear deep brown with copper highlights, three fingers worth of off white foamy head recedes slowly leaving behind lots of chunky lacing
the aroma is sweet and caramelly with very little toast evident. There is a mild fruitiness and a nice breadyness that unfolds as the beer warms.
like the aroma the flavor is sweet and caramelly, with a light nuttiness. Unlike the aroma there is a nice understated toasty component. Very clean and pleasant, but not terribly interesting. Light bodied and moderately carbonated.
Overall, it is a good beer, but is lacking something. Just a little light for a bock

I don't have time for flowery prose etc... what I do need to say is that this is one hell of a brew. The kind that has enough "toasted darkness" to have some cojhones but is kissed with the right amount of hops so it isn't syrupy sweet. In other words a brew I can pull a session on yet feel I got a full-flavored brew in the bargain. Actually on par or slightly better than Anchor Steam which was pretty much my bar for a beer that was flavorful yet highly drinkable. This one is a keeper. Hope it makes the cut for year-round production.

I got a 6pck of bottles of this beer from my local meijer store. It poured a clear dark mahogany amber with thin ecru head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had faint maple and malt notes. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink with subtle maple sweet malt and toasted grain highlights. The mouthfeel was lighter in body with good carbonation. Overall it is a good beer.

Pours a clear brown with a nice off white head that fades to thin cap, spotty lacing.
Snot locker gets some toasted malt and a hint of fresh bread. Taste buds get that, some caramel/toffee. Beer is a bit thin, nicely carbonated. Crisp, refreshing, better suited to a fall afternoon by the grill.

Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a dark chestnut color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of toasted malts. Taste is toasted malts, caramel, some molasses, a bit sweet for the style. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a highly refreshing and enjoyable beer.

Bought a 6-pack cans $8.99 Target
45 days before best by date
Smell of cola, then lightly roasted
Dark black color
Medium mouthfeel
Medium carbonation
Taste of light roasted malts
Overall ok. Easy drinking, but with a name like Toasted Bock I was expecting a more smoky, roasted flavor and this is light on taste.

12oz can RB date 02/28/22 into a 12oz Becher glass.
L: Pours dark crystal clear mahogany/brown with a fairly creamy uneven 2.5 inch+ beige head that recedes over time to edge foam. Good fine carbonation and minimal sticky lacing.
S: Toasted caramelized malts, lightly floral, caramel candy. Very clean and simple.
T: Toasted malts, caramel, light toffee, light citrus zest, a hint of red apple peel, gently sweet with a suggestion of bitterness, fruit zest lingers for a second at the finish. Flavors are light and thin with minimal hop taste.
F: Smooth, slick, soft light-bodied mouthfeel with a moderately clean fast finish.
O: Overall an easy drinking approachable Bock that is par for the Leinenkugel course. Smooth, gentle, refreshing and pleasant tasting and very good in it's style.

From a 12 fl. oz. bottle with a best by date of Feb 28, 2022. Sampled Dec 3, 2021.
The appearance is a lovely looking mahogany brown with an off-white lasting head.
The sweet caramel and butterscotch malts are front and center in the aroma with a lower profile earthy sensation. Maybe a little bit of molasses.
Light-medium mouthfeel.
The taste is sweet and malty from start to finish. Little to no bitterness. The sweetness is what I enjoyed most about it.

12oz bottle. Bottle neck is stamped for best by date of 'FEB2822'.
Clear, amber brown colored body. Brief one finger khaki head settles back to creamy skiff.
Aroma is mostly lightly roasted malts, with toffee and caramel. Slight spicy hops.
Taste is big on the toasted grain malts, with toffee, caramel, some cocoa, and a hint of dark cherry. Has a touch of earthy hops. Very dark bread like in the aftertaste.
A little light in the mouth feel, but very smooth in expression. Dries out the mouth too. Good carbonation.
Crisp and smooth, with a good touch of toasted malts - caramel and dark bread. Not complicated nor deep.

by JZH1000 from Colorado
Poured out of a 12oz can
L- standard dark beer and on the pour forms a 1.5 finger head but not very good retention or lacing.
S- almost nothing to be honest especially when cold as it warms the smell is kind of just lagery. Maybe some slight toasted malts
T- better than the smell, still kind of bland and adjuncty but less so than the smell and the tastiness does come throught on the flavor. Definitely a lager beer and not necessarily in a good way.
F- feels like this is trying to be a lot more than it is. If it didnt get my expectations up, I wouldntve dropped the rating so low in this category but it just isnt a good example of the style.
O- overall the beer is fine but I feel like this should be more of a dark Vienna lager than a bock, especially to be marketing it as toasted.

Leinenkugel's Toasted Bock has a thick, creamy, ivory head, with a clear, brown appearance, and a bit of lacing. The aroma is of faint light toast. The flavor is of the same, with some sweetness and a touch of bitterness. Toasted Bock has a low-medium body and a crisp finish.

poured from a 12oz bottle into a tall pilsner glass. pours a semi see-through mahogany with a two finger firm khaki head. head remains as a thin layer atop the beer for the remainder of the pour. bready and toasted malts, lager yeast and dark bread on the nose. taste follows with a malty start leading to an almost crisp, clean lager finish. love the mouthfeel on this beer! starts thick and malty and finishes clean and damn near crisp. overall, an excellent doppelbock at an excellent price. perfect for the cooler months, though i’d drink it any time of year.

Definitely one of the better Leinenkugel beers. Has a smooth toasty malt backbone with a crisp finish. Leaves a pleasurable dryness on your tongue. It does fall short because of the somewhat bland flavor though. Nothing crazy special but enjoyable for what it is.

Drank straight from the brown bottle. Smell of dark bread dough with a hint of caramel and toasted tree nuts. The initial brightness on the first sip complements the overall smoothness and mildly darker flavor. Tastes bready and malty with maybe a slight tinge of raisin midway through. The finish is refreshing with a suitable carbonation. A little watery for what I expected, but this allows it to quench your thirst without bloating your stomach. I am a big fan of bock beer and this is a new favorite in the American adaptation of Bock’s. It’s similar to Shiner Bock (which I love) but has a bit more flavor and a bit more ABV. Overall I can see several more cases of this in my future.

A little watery but a really tasty seasonal Bock - perfect for autumn. It's not gonna win any awards but for Leinenkugels it's a pretty good beer. Neck and neck with honey weis for my favorite beer from the brewery.
