SHEP’S I’LL BE BOCK

September 6, 2024Beers A-Zbock, SHEP'S BREWINGJohn Fortunato

Traditional German bock with mildly caramelized dried fruiting caressing dewy fungi musk to its molasses-dripped sweet bread finish. Only some tinny astringency gets in the way of the subdued dried prune, green raisin and plum illusions.

KANE DAYDREAM WINTER BOCK

March 8, 2022Beers A-Zbock, KANE BREWINGJohn Fortunato

June 26, 2019Beers A-Zbock, KANE BREWINGJohn Fortunato

(RINKUSKAI) HELL ON HIGH QUAD BOCK

December 10, 2018Beers A-Zbock, quadrupel, RINKUSKAIJohn Fortunato

Sloppily aggressive Belgian quad/ German bock mix lets rotted apple mustiness, viscous corn syruping and disturbing alcohol burn relegate, then ruin, its fig-dried raisin, plum and prune niceties. Disgustingly cloy and stylishly conflicted 14% ABV Lithuanian worth avoiding unless inducing hangover.

WILD ACRE BILLY JENKINS SESSION BOCK

April 26, 2018Beers A-Zbock, WILD ACRE BREWINGJohn Fortunato

On tap at Flying Saucer - Garland, understated bock competes favorably against fellow Texas rival, Shiner Bock, but lacks sufficient toasted malt profile in murky soft-tongued mix. Dank dewy nature provides overcast outlook for diminished brown-sugared toffee spicing, soapy raw-honeyed musk and wispy fig-dried tartness. Ill-defined.

November 28, 2017Beers A-Zbock, MARTIN HOUSE BREWINGJohn Fortunato

On tap at Taverna Rossa, smoothly copper-paled light body (official beer of popular Fort Worth band, the Toadies) does fine job coalescing chalky cocoa powdering with mild coffee tones, musty kiln-smoked earthen dewiness, roasted tobacco crisping, delicate prune notions and distant cola nuttiness.

BRIX CITY 1064 CITY BOCK

January 25, 2016Beers A-Zbock, brix cityJohn Fortunato

On tap at Poor Henry's, dewy earthen moss drapes balmy raw-honeyed dried fig leafing, tannic grape niche and reedy hop moderation as phenol carbolic spritz provides brisk tongue prickle.

NESHAMINY CREEK NESHAMINATOR GERMAN WHEAT BOCK

December 29, 2015Beers A-Zale, beer, bock, neshaminyJohn Fortunato

Impressive orange honey-blossomed weizenbock drapes maple molasses syrup atop bruised banana, plum, prune, red grape and black cherry fruiting as well as chewy chocolate malts. Charred oak bittering stays below surface alongside subtle chestnut roast and Cafe Dumond chicory coffee snip. At finish, gentle port and burgundy tones color fondue-like dried fruiting.
