3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
500 ml bottle thanks hugely to ErlangerNick. Clear gold lasting thick white head. Its pretty good. Lovely easy drinking strong lager. No alcohol heat to speak of but good malts full in mouth and good bitter hopped finish. Really rather good. Drunk in hotel room in Salzburg.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Hopfiger, scharf bitterer Antrunk. Der Hopfen tut sich bis zum Mittelteil noch herovr und bietet der Bitterkeit Paroli, er weist sehr grasige Noten auf, die im weiteren Verlauf sogar einen scharfen Touch annimmt. Hier vergisst man vollkommen, dass es sich um einen Bock handelt, da der Hopfen einfach zu eindringlich ist. Die aufkommende Malzigkeit, die einzig der hohen Stammwürze entspringt, kann sich nur kurz zeigen, bevor sie untergeht und der Hopfen sie überrollt. Weich, weiter sehr grasig. Im Abgang merkt man den Alkohol erneut, eher aber unterstützend als störend. Der Hopfen lässt sich nie aus der Fassung bringen, muss sich den Abgang aber mit einer getreidigen Malzigkeit teilen. Faszinierender Bock! 12/12/13/13/13

Autumn sun. I get some kilned malt on this. This beer has a crisp finish. Almost smoky at times. I expected something completely different.

Bottle @ Bamberg. Pours dark golden with a creamy white head and lacings. Very grainy. A bit of alcohol and caramel. Medium bodied.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
It’s warm golden with a huge, creamy and lasting head, and the aroma has notes of malt, bread, flower and slightly spicy alcohol. The flavour is sweet with notes of malt, bread, flower/fruit and a hoppy, spicy alcohol-bite.

Slightly hazy orange-golden color, small white head. Aroma is neutral with grainy and barley notes. Flavor is straight-forward, standard, clean helles bock: malty base, grainy notes, some citrus/herbal hoppyness and alcohol. Not as sweet as many other German strong bocks. Lingering bitterness and alcohol in the aftertaste. Ok.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle, bought @ the brewery. Pale golden color. Soft tropical fruit aroma. Grassy herbal hopbitter flavor. malty sweetness hidden by the quiet but omnipresent hoppiness. Earthy notes, especially in the finish. Good!
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Draft at Café Abseits. Sweetish malt nose with a certain fruity note. Mild sweetness with a firm and lingering hop bitterness. Almost perfectly balanced and dangerously drinkable. Tasty, bittersweet bock that hardly puts a foot wrong.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
(bottle) pours a clear golden colour with a frothy white head. aroma of grassy herbal hops, watermelon and some light grainy pale malts, slightly sweet. flavour is mostly bready, grainy malts with notes of sweet spices, almost belgian in a way. medium-bodied with smooth carbonation and a dry, alcoholic finish. quite different to most examples of the style.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
bottle. Clear golden colour, mid-sized head. Hoppy nose. Full-bodied, solid malty base with lots of resiny-citrusy hops. Bitter-sweet, reminds me of an American IPA.
