From the brewery: Battlefield Bock is a smooth and creamy Bavarian Style Bock Lager. It is brewed with our proprietary blend of Bavarian Dark Roasted Malts giving it a distinct taste with hints of coffee and chocolate. We add Noble Czech Saaz Hops to balance the flavor of this rich full bodied lager. Battlefield Bock is slow cold aged for a minimum of 8 weeks.

Nice to see someone added this I had it a few weeks back at Backstreets here in Greensboro.Came to the table a deep dark brown with a thinner tan colore head atop,mainly chocolate malt aromas in the nose a bit of breadiness as well not much hop trace.Flavors also lean heavily in the chocolate category with some doughy notes and a light shot of spicey hop in the finish.Its pretty thin for the style in my mind the flavors are decent but all in all its pretty average.

Poured from a 12oz can into a Willi Becher glass
The beer pours a dark brown color with a moderate amount of off-white head that quickly recedes, leaving behind very little to no lacing.
The aroma is sweet and bready, with notes of caramel, chocolate, and nice underlying spicy and roasty notes.
Like the aroma, the flavor is bready and sweet with notes of caramel, and chocolate. the spiciness is a bit more prevalent than in the nose, and the roastyness is nearly lost in the sweetness, Medium bodied and moderately carbonated.
Overall this is a good beer that I look forward to trying again

Drinking this at The Red Oak Brewery.
On tap poured into a pint glass.
Appears dark brown, nice head and lacing.
Smells spicy and sweet, definitely chocolatey.
Taste follows the nose nicely, malty upfront.
Mouth feel is medium for the style.
Overall a very good Bock that I would definitely order again.

Enjoyed an evening with this brew a few years back at a bar in Winston Salem. I cannot remember the name, but I see the place clearly. Sucks to get old. I'm partial to Red Oak products as they are local to the Triad and I've been downing them for well in excess of two decades. Looks like chocolate, tastes like chocolate, smells like chocolate and satisfies like chocolate.
