Bottle at Chriso Snow Tasting. Hazy gold brown beer lasting beige head. Ok ish some toffee decent enough flavour good in mouth

UPDATED: DEC 19, 2004 On tap at 7SternBrau, Wien (with Geiserich). Red Amber beer with lasting Head. This is their Christmas beer and it is a bit of a warmer, crisp rounded dry malts and heavy hopping, some spiciness with a peppery and fruity finish. My beer of Austria so far, beautifully brewed, a very decent beer.

500ml bottle (Snow@ChrisO)
A bit stodgy. Full smoothg and soft palate, a bit yeast (I got the final pour from the bottle). Grains are certainly pleasant though, and it’s not saying 6%, that’s well hidden. Not quite bocky enough for me.

Stupendously huge, very fine & dense yellow head; hazy yellow-amber beer. Almonds, waffles with syrup, vanilla, quite sweet smelling, spicy bread. BItterish-lined cake, orange, orange peel. Sweet impression, but overwhelmed by the bitterish(even hoppy)-fruity flavours. This is great and perfect balance. Nutmeg & cinnamon retronasal. Well bodied, slick, but without any viscosity. Excellent Bock! Thank you very much for following my instructions, Dean!! ;^}

Bottle at the ChrisO Snow Tasting, London. Thanks to Paul. Pours clearish, light gold with a creamy, white foam head. Sweet malt nose, light spices, faintly tangy fruits. Light sweet flavor with more tangy fruits, faint hay. Light bodied with high carbonation. Tangy finish, some berries, sharp bread. Not in top form - as with most beers from this brewery when bottled.

UPDATED: MAR 7, 2008 300m vom Fass at the brewpub in Vienna, and a 500ml swingtop bottle (bb.31.12.07) brought home to Tromsø and enjoyed as a partner to late lunch on Boxing day. Slightly unclear, amber body with a thin, lasting head. Aroma is sweet milky and malty. The dominant flavours are puddingy almond supported by vanilla, butter, and light caramel. Dry hopped ending. Rounded palate (02.12 and 26.12.2007).
