Have you ever heard of German “Bockbier”?
Bockbier (or abbreviated “Bock”) is a special kind of beer. The literal translation is “goat beer” (der Ziegenbock is a male goat).
It’s usually dark (although there are light ones, too) and very strong compared to normal beers. The alcohol content is between at least 5% (which is close to normal) and can go as high as 12%!
