The Triple Bock Story
| This special beer is like no other beer.
It begins with almost a pound of malt per bottle,
carefully mashed to produce an extraordinary original
gravity of 40 degrees Plato. The resulting wort is
patiently blended with maple syrup and a generous amount
of English hops. A warm and extremely vigorous
fermentation follows. Just before fermentation is
complete, the brew is transferred to charred oak barrels
for long and slow aging. This aging adds another rich
layer of flavors - vanilla and dark fruit. Slowly the
flavors mellow into roundness. When the finished liquid is ready for drinking, the wooden barrels are tapped and bottled. The cork finish preserves the delicate flavors and allows each bottle to be closed and enjoyed in several servings. This unique beer will continue to mature and develop in the bottle. Store upright until opening and then on its side to keep the cork moist. I hope you will enjoy sipping this beer as much as we enjoyed making it. Because this beer is like nothing ever brewed, we don't yet know how long it will continue to mature. Cheers! - James Koch |
