Point Spring Bock

Point Spring Bock Beer, Stevens Point, WI

Served in a Glass 55 degrees

Good God, Sweet malty hoppy frothy heaven! This beer even though it is intended to be a stodgy old Bock, is rather refreshing which is hard to say about the meal replacing Bock. Filling, equals bock, that is the rule only surpassed by a few scotch ales, barley wines and porters and stouts. This flavor was light on its feet and can you say mouth feel. I wonder if lactose is in use here...I have had some British ales with that same smoothness and the feeling that you had enjoyed a milky way in your mouth but it tastes like beer. You know? Seems almost in the flavor department that there is honey involved somewhere. Tastes like malt and hops in balanced concert. Molasses background with subtle coffee and chocolate undertones. Take a sip and swallow and the flavor and texture remain. This is a bock I would want to drink all the time. Well done.

Bock Beer 4.5 out of 5 points
