#German_beer_styles
Bock is a strong beer of German origin, brewed as a lager when made with only barley malt, and brewed as an ale when wheat malt is added.
In addition to the main style of bock, several substyles exist, including: Originally a dark beer, a modern bock can range from light copper to brown in colour.
The style is very popular, with many examples brewed internationally.
The style known now as bock was a dark, malty, lightly hopped ale first brewed in the 14th century by German brewers in the Hanseatic town of Einbeck in Lower Saxony.
The style from Einbeck was later adopted in Bavaria by Munich brewers in the 17th century and adapted to the new lager style of brewing.
Due to their Bavarian accent, citizens of Munich pronounced "Einbeck" as "ein Bock" （"a billy goat"）, and thus the beer became known as "bock".
As a visual pun, a goat often appears on bock labels.
Bock is historically associated with special occasions, often religious festivals such as Christmas, Easter or Lent （the latter as Lentenbock）.
Bocks have a long history of being brewed and consumed by Bavarian monks as a source of nutrition during times of fasting.
Traditional bock is a sweet, relatively strong （6.3–7.2% by volume）, lightly hopped （20–27 IBUs） lager.
The beer should be clear, and color can range from light copper to brown, with a bountiful and persistent off-white head.
The aroma should be malty and toasty, possibly with hints of alcohol, but no detectable hops or fruitiness.
The mouthfeel is smooth, with low to moderate carbonation and no astringency.
The taste is rich and toasty, sometimes with a bit of caramel.
Again, hop presence is low to undetectable, providing just enough bitterness so that the sweetness is not cloying and the aftertaste is muted.
