Bock is usually a very strong beer that is normally served seasonally from January to May. Bock beers are bottom fermented, thus they are a lager type of beer. They come in a variety of different styles, ranging from the pale, Helles Bock, to the traditional dark colored Dunkels Bock. Bocks usually balance a definite malt flavor with a hops dryness in the finish. "Double Bocks" are even stronger than single Bocks and vary in taste from well balanced to that of an overwhelming malt taste. The term Bock literally means goat in German. The most accepted theory is that the word "Bock" is a derivation from the word "Einbeck." Einbeck is the name of the town where the Bock style of beer is presumed to have originated.

"Bock" has been part of the vocabulary of beer since at least the 17th century.
