August is the heart of winter in NZ. A time for sipping rich beers by the fire. A Bock is a classic and traditional German winter lager. Still retaining the lager traditions of being fresh and easy drinking the bock has the colder month qualities of being smoother and richer with a bit of extra strength. A clear dark brown pour and dense cream head the beer has aromas of toasted rye bread, some dried dates and light cocoa. A full body of rich warming malt complexity and a simple clean and uncomplicated finish.
