bock

Strong dark lager

Bock is a strong German lager, typically dark and malty with higher alcohol content than standard beers.

Traditional bock originated in medieval Germany and remains associated with seasonal brewing, especially spring.

Variants include doppelbock (stronger), maibock (paler, spring release), and eisbock (concentrated by freezing).

I'll have the bock on tap.
