30th Anniversary- Charlie, Fred And Ken's Bock
A-Pours a deep copper/gold with a two finger white head that has very good retention but left little lacing. Some lacing would have made this a 5 on appearance. S-Malt at the forefront, slightly sweet, some earthy/herb like hoppy notes coming in, but not fighting for dominance. Light and crisp would be a good way to describe the overall nose. T-Slightly sweet bready, caramel malt. Maybe a tinge of maple syrup. Floral and pine hops coming in, but like the nose, not dominating. M-Medium body, somewhat creamy yet still crisp and a bit dry. Slight sting to the carb bite, but it suits this beer. D-Goes down easily enough. But hey, would you expect anything else from SN? Of course its drinkable. Its from SN. I like the stout better, but this was a good beer for the 30th line up.
