Bock is a strong and dark type of German beer. This can cause some confusion as to the difference between Bocks and other dark beers such as Dunkels. Generally they have the same flavor characteristics. More on the sweet side with the malt. A bit of hops. And full bodied in the middle. A very warm and flavorful beer.
Bocks come in various strengths. The Maibock was a lighter, less full-bodied version drunk in Spring around May. Bock is a bit more flavorful. And the Doppelbock (double) is a very strong and intense bock. It was traditionally drunk in late fall and early winter to warm the soul. Another version not often seen is the Eisbock. It is frozen to increase its strength.
