Henrici Bock

The namesake and patron saint of this beer is Emperor Henry, who ruled the Roman-German Empire together with his wife Cunegonde In his function as emperor, he founded the diocese of Bamberg and is accordingly revered in the Bamberg area Because he was said to have performed numerous miracles and miraculous deeds, Henry was canonized after his death To this day, the imperial couple fascinates people

The brewers at the Reckendorfer Schlossbrauerei brewery not far from Bamberg are among the followers of Henry and Cunegonde In honour of the medieval ruler, the team has come up with a fine bock beer: Reckendorfer Henrici-Bock is a seasonal specialty and is only brewed in autumn and winter The rich strong beer brings a full 7.0% alcohol content into the glass and combines an intense malt fullness with an elegant hop bitterness and a fine tartness

In the glass, Heinrich's beery homage appears in a deep amber hue A stately crown of airy foam sits enthroned on the crystal-clear body, filling the air with an irresistible aroma: Notes of freshly baked bread combine with toasted malt, caramel, grassy hints and herbs to create a heavenly aroma The unmissable taste sample delights with an equally rich malt composition Toasty bread crust meets toffee, sun-ripened grain and candied dark fruit on the palate The hops give the beer herbal and grassy notes as well as a crisp bitterness
