Beer-style: Bock Family

Traditional German Bock
A great Bock recipe for a traditional, triple decocted German Bock(bier).
Ötzi’s Eisbock
As members of the Bock(bier) family, Eisbocks have all the characteristics of a typical strong beer, only more so. They are much maltier and smoother even than the Dopplebocks. Essentially, Eisbocks are "iced strong beers," because they are frozen at the end of their maturation period (which separates out water in the form of crystals that can be removed).
Spruce Bock
Here’s a hearty holiday beer with an unusual spice — evergreen needles. Spruce tips, the new-growth of spruce trees, give a unique, characteristic flavor to beer. This flavor is not “piney,” as many people suppose. Spruce tips can be found through an internet search. For best results, age your beer several months before sampling it.
Eye in the Pyramid Wild Rice Helles Bock
A Helles Bock made with rice… How is that wild? Helles is German for "bright," so this is a bright or light colored bock.
