Tradional Bock beer is a hearty bottom- fermented beer with a generously malty character and chocolatey dark- grain flavors. It has a creamy mouthfeel and the finish is lengthy and malty sweet. Hop bitterness is subdued- just enough to cut the cloying character of the malt. The color can run the spectrum from a deep burnt orange to mahogany. The alcohol content is usually considerable: a true German Bock beer must have a minimum alcohol content of 6.5 percent to a be called a Bock beer.

Welcome to 366 (Leap Year) days of beer tasting in Spokane Washington. I thought I would do something fun this year- my New Years Resolution is to drink a different beer everyday for 366 days. I am not a beer expert so join in if you have a comment or suggestion. The plus sign (+) is being used to rate the Hoppiness of the beer. I am using 1-5, with 5 being the hoppiest. I also grade the beer as well but ...really.....you are drinking a beer..can't get any better than this. Cheers!
