Enegren Christmas Bock

Enegren Christmas Bock is a 7.2% ABV bock beer brewed by Enegren Brewing Company in Moorpark, CA. This beer offers a complex aroma of dried fruit, raisin, caramel, and toffee, complemented by notes of bread crust, slight spice, and a subtly floral character. On the palate, it presents prominent flavors of caramel and raisin, along with malty sweetness, toffee, bread, biscuit, and honey, balanced by a subtle hop bitterness. The finish is warming and smooth, with a lingering sweetness and malty caramel notes, accompanied by a slight bitterness. This is a delightful and balanced bock, perfect for enjoying during the holiday season.

Here are two pairings that will enhance the deep and rich flavor of Enegren Christmas Bock. 1. German Schweinshaxe (Pork Knuckle): The malty notes and caramel, bread crust flavor of Enegren Christmas Bock pairs perfectly with the rich, savory taste of Schweinshaxe, a traditional German pork knuckle dish. The slight spice nuances of the beer balance the saltiness of the Schweinshaxe, and the beer's carbonation cleanses the palate. 2. Baked Apples with Cinnamon Crumble: The dried fruit, toffee, and honey aromas of Enegren Christmas Bock harmonize wonderfully with the sweetness of baked apples and the warm spice of cinnamon crumble. The beer's warming finish enhances the dessert's sweetness, and the beer's slight hop bitterness offsets the excessive sweetness of the dessert. This combination deepens the overall flavor profile of the dessert.
