Harry's Bock
This is my first attempt at a Bock beer. Yes, I know, I'm posting the recipe when it hasn't even finished fermenting - call me impatient.
The color, from what I've read, is about as dark as a Bock beer should be. If you're being accurate, you might put less Amber extract and more Light extract.
