Drink up gentlemen.

I'm not a gentleman- but I'm drinking! I hope that counts. :D

Naturally. :) the more the better.

My friends just called me, and said they were having some shiner bocks and Indios, but that they just didn't taste the same after my "la loca bock"
 
I used to drink shiner bocks and other bocks....for tasting like they were not watered down like domestics...

Until i tried a microbrew bock...(sweet, carmelly, rich, malty, biscuity) that blew me away

(rip van winkle bock, weston brewing company missouri), so damn fantatstic!

Is the sweet bock more normal and traditional...or is the bock that tastes like shiner more of the norm?
 
It is a real bock, I'm almost sure I hit 64 OG, and about 6.1-6.2 % alcohol.

I like shinier, but it is not a true bock. Yummy, a bock. I should make space to brew another one...
 
I don't know about Shiner, but when I travelled to Germany last fall, I was surprised to find most of the bocks were not the dark colored bocks that are the norm here. Closer to a Maibock.
