Herfstbok | Local Lager From Netherlands, Central Europe | TasteAtlas

Herfstbok

Herfstbok is often called autumn bock bier. The style was modeled on bock bier—a type of strong and dark lager that originated in Germany. Dutch bock beers grew into a distinct style, and herfstbok is one of the seasonal varieties released by major and microbreweries.


Although it is not a mainstream style or available year-round, it is becoming increasingly popular. Herfstbok is now produced as top (ale) or bottom-fermenting (lager), and it is generally a broad category that does not have set guidelines. Most examples are dark beers with a dominant malty character.


Their color ranges from amber to almost black, while the flavor is typically balanced between sweetness and bitterness. Their alcohol content typically falls between 5 and 7 percent. Herfstbok is usually served in a tulip glass.
