Bock is a strong German lager traditionally brewed for winter and spring celebrations. It typically has a malty sweetness with notes of caramel, bread, and toffee. Variants include Doppelbock (double bock), Eisbock (ice bock), and Maibock (spring bock). Bocks generally have higher ABV, often 6–8%. They are deeply tied to German brewing tradition and monastic brewing heritage.
