Half litre bottle. Fair bit of foam, bronze colour. Hoppy grassy aroma. Strong malty taste, fair bit of sweetness. Medium mouthfull. Decent balanced bock.

Trübe Böcke sind ja eher selten, daher freue ich mich, ein solches Exemplar im Glas zu haben. Leicht süßer hellmalziger Antrunk. Die Süße wird etwas alkoholisch und brennt im späteren Verlauf etwas. Vorher wird das Bier deutlich herber, was ein wenig vom Alkohol und den bockigen Aromen ablenkt. Ab dem Mittelteil sind diese eh schon rar, das Bier könnte deutlich malzlastiger sein. Herb-bitterer Abgang mit leichter Schärfe. 10/7/7/7/12/7 Hellmalziger, eher unscheinbarer Antrunk mit getreidigen Alkoholnoten. Was im Antrunk noch in Ordnung ist wird im Verlauf langweilig, da die Aromen sich weder verändern noch bedeutend stärker werden. Es bleibt ein getreidiger Bock ohne starke Würze, der schon noch wenigen Schlücken als monoton abgestempelt werden kann. Denn das ist er, auch wenn man weit mehr trinkt. Für Leute, die ein Helles mit viel Alkohol wollen. 12/6/6/5/9/5

0.5 l bottle (7 %). Deep golden color. Sweetish honeyish and toffeish aroma with some flowery and grassy notes. Malty honeyish flavor with toffee, herbal hops, some drying alcohol and hint of bread. OK basic bock.

UPDATED: NOV 3, 2011 draft at eichhorn in dörfleins. clear and bright copper orange colored effervescent body with a silky and pillowy white head. nose of sticky honey combs just engulfs the senses... this is something spectacular, i can tell from the first smell. lemon zest, honey comb, wet, grassy hops, this heller bock is about as fresh as you can imagine, might have been tapped the day before... tangy wet hop resin, white raisins, tingly and sticky/oily honey combs combined with an incredibly rich texture and perfectly balanced weight to the body... finishes with a light kiss of white raisin and potato, sticky and snappy and minerally and green. best heller bock i’ve ever had. this beer was made for me. i’m in love.

Bottle (purchased at the brasserie): Hazy, mid-sized yellowish head, solid dusty grainy nose with a taste of honey and curious hops in the wings; solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; lingering bitter-sweet-malty finish with a tinge of alcohol in the aftertaste. Decent franconian quality.........

(bottle) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a lacey blond foamy head of medium size. Slightly sweet and yeasty cara-malty, slightly bready nose with a fruity tinge and discreet spicy hops in the background. Moderately sweet flavour, almost full bodied with a soft carbonation and a chalky mouthfeel. Slightly yeasty and fruity, bready taste with light herbal notes; malt-accented, moderately sweet finish with a good dash of balancing hoppy bitterness. Pleasant.
