Bohemian's Cherny Bock Schwarzbier In Draft

Draft Magazine's December 2011 issue features our very own Bohemian Brewery's Cherny Bock.

"A dark malt bouquet permeates the fluffy head on this swarthy schwarzbier. Caramel and chocolate sweetly counter a dash of roasted malt sents, while a subtle lactic twang intensifies the aroma. This light-bodied brew spans the tongue with faint roasted malts threaded with caramel sweetness. Quiet, earthy hop bitterness rises before the swallow, and merges with a touch of ash and a lactic bite for an assertively dry finish. Although Cherny Bock could benefit from heftier malts, it's a quaffable beer with the style's classic clean lager swallow."

Cherny Bock in the East Village

Bohemian Cherny Bock
by Bohemian Brewery

So cherny means “black” in Czech. I think that’s exactly what I say in the video. It’s black. It looks like it’s going to be thick, but it’s not. You usually think of bocks as heavier beers, but this one is refreshingly thinner and easier to drink. Throw out your bock preconceptions, people. It’s a session Bock.

I said that I was going to get a Vespa in the video and in the blog post last week. I seriously don’t know how I am going to afford a Vespa, but I’m going to buy one, mark my words. I’m going to get two matching helmets so the girl I’m taking to the sexy West Village brunch spot can look cute (and be safe). Sign up in the comments section to be the girl in that fantasy. Be prepared to pay for gas. ;-)

Utah has some ridiculous laws about shipping beer. The three-tiered system in place probably helped at some point, but the laws put in place to protect the distributors might be hindering interstate commerce as far as beer goes. I always think the best thing to make sure you have control over something is to legalize it and tax it. You might be able to solve the debt problem by legalizing marijuana if you taxed it enough. I know one former president who would get behind that bill.

Have you had a Bohemian Cherny Bock? Let us know how you like it in the comments section! Please make sure to indicate whether you are just commenting on the beer or would like a Vespa ride, or both.

From the Bohemian site:

"The word Cherny literally means ‘black‘ in Czech referring to the color of the rather surprising dark Schwarzbier with gentle bitterness to appeal your palette. A true gem to be discovered by specialty beer lovers."

Bohemian is currently selling cans of their Cherny Bock the brewery but those of you in their distribution area should see it on shelves relatively soon. For those of us that don't live close to the brewery, well, we can just sit around and hope that maybe someone we know who does will send us some!
