Bock is a strong lager of German origin. Several substyles exist, including maibock (helles bock, heller bock), a paler, more hopped version generally made for consumption at spring festivals; doppelbock (double bock), a stronger and maltier version; and eisbock, a much stronger version made by partially freezing the beer and removing the ice that forms.
Originally a dark beer, a modern bock can range from light copper to brown in colour. The style is very popular, with many examples brewed internationally.
The style known now as bock was a dark, malty, lightly hopped ale first brewed in the 14th century by German brewers in the Hanseatic town of Einbeck. The style from Einbeck was later adopted by Munich brewers in the 17th century and adapted to the new lager style of brewing. Due to their Bavarian accent, citizens of Munich pronounced "Einbeck" as "ein Bock" ("a billy goat"), and thus the beer became known as "bock". To this day, as a visual pun, a goat often appears on bock labels.
Today I closed another chapter
Poured my heart out onto every page
Every word seared into my memory
Every thought clouded with barbaric rage
Never will I, relinquish my trust to you
Never will I, fall back into that abyss
I've learned that when you die life continues
Leave this world with dignity and virtue
I had a VIOLENT EPIPHANY
What it took to set me free was a violent epiphany
Pain gave me wisdom
Fear gave me insight
Hate gave me reason
VIOLENT EPIPHANY (x2)
I had a VIOLENT EPIPHANY
Today I wrote another chapter
Poured blood & sweat through my pen
Learned from the trials of life
The hard way and gained respect from my fellow man
The city was my education
Streets were my textbooks
Wandering in desperation, with a dismal outlook
Never will I fall back into that abyss
I've learned that when you die life continues
Leave this world with dignity and virtue
VIOLENT EPIPHANY
What it took to set me free was a VIOLENT EPIPHANY
The city was my education
Streets were my textbooks
Wandering in desperation, with a dismal outlook
