SIDE LAUNCH - GERMANIC BOCK

This Germanic Bock (strong, dark German style lager) is part of the ‘Ships of Collingwood Series’ ~ somehow this pays homage to the last wooden ship built in the Collingwood Shipyards in 1899. Sampled on draught the beer poured a tawny amber colour with a frothy head. The nose contained lots of caramel, roasted malts (Munich malt was liberally used in brewing) and a very subtle dark fruit. The flavours follows as would be expected, lots of malty goodness, with enough hops to complement the malts. Caramel and berry fruitiness become more evident as the beer warms. The berries linger in the finish. A very nice offering.
