Siebenhundertachtzigtses Bier:

Herrmannsdorfer Schweinsbräu Maibock 6,8% vol. Riedenburg, Deutschland

In Riedenburg im Auftrag von den Herrmannsdorfer Biomärkten gebraut, fließt der Maibock kastanienbraun ins Glas, mit stark malzig-süßem Aroma. Geschmacklich geht es dann ähnlich intensiv weiter: viel Malzsüße, leicht hervorstechender Alkohol und im Nachtrunk leichte Hopfenbittere. Gibt es besser, aber auch wesentlich schlechter. 6/10

bock beer

bock beer--bock beer is a dark, malty, lightly hopped ale first brewed in the 14th century by German brewers in the Hanseatic town of Einbeck, Germany.

The first mention of beer being brewed in Einbeck comes from a receipt dated 1378. In 1614, the an experienced brew master from Einbeck was lured to Munich’s Royal Brewery, the Hofbräuhaus (the word hof (court) comes from the brewery's history as a royal brewery in the Kingdom of Bavaria). It was in Munich that the brewer from Einbeck began to produce ainpöckisch beer, that is, a beer in the Einbeck style.

Bock beer became popular not only for its taste, but also for its durability. Low in hops, which can change flavor over time, and high in alcohol content bock beer remained flavorful even after it had been transported long distances.

Variations on the basic “bock” beer:

Dopplebock—“double bock,” a beer with a high (though not double) alcohol content

Maibock—“May bock,” a bock beer brewed for May celebrations

Helles Bock—“bright bock,” a light colored bock beer

Eisbock--"ice beer," a beer that has been frozen to enrich the alcohol content.

Word origin: The “beck” in Einbeck was pronounced “bock” in Bavaria. Ein bock, in German, is “a billy goat,” thus, the association of this style of beer with goats. The goat on the labels of bock beers is a sort of icon, meaning “this is a bock beer.”
