Description

Historically brewed in Einbeck, Germany, St Austell’s Cornish Bock is a full-bodied, strong malty lager. Primarily available through their online shop it is well worth seeking out as one of only a few breweries that produce this style in the UK. It is brewed in springtime and slowly fermented to develop its clean, caramel taste. There’s an initial sweet aroma with lots of fresh hay and hints of grass from the Saaz hops. Evocative of a late evening walk in spring as the dew sets in. The fresh aromas shift to the sweet caramel and malt taste. The relatively high alcohol content makes this perfect for drinking on the cooler spring evenings, warming you up from the inside. This beer works wonderfully well when paired with dressed green lentils, roasted beetroot and toasted walnuts.

Where to Buy
