ChrisOs Marvellous Pre GBBF Mega Tasting. Hazy amber beer. tidy cream coloured head. Nutty and creamy malt with a trace of dried fruits. Semi dry finish. Decent.

UPDATED: OCT 15, 2012 Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig, 2012, London. Pours lightly hazy amber with a fine, white foam head. Sugary bread nose, some caramel. Medium sweet flavor with tons of sugary caramel. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sugary sweet finish with more caramel. Pretty one-dimensional, but I suppose that’s about all you can expect of most bocks.

Bottle 500ml. @ chriso s Pre-GBBF Shindig 2012.

Clear light to medium amber colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, bread, toasted - caramel, oxidide, sugar. Flavour is moderate to light light heavy sweet and light moderate bitter with a average to long duration, sweet malt, fruity. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20120804]

Amber color with lasting colored foam head. Sweet fruity taste and good alcohol content. Nice lasting sweet palate.

Bottle @ Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig. Pours deep amberish brown with a small head. The nose is light summer fruit, some honey and light caramel. The taste is sweet sugared bread, some hints of strawberry. Light, active carbonation. Not bad.

At Chriso pre GBBF Shindig 2012. Mid brown colour some decent malts some decent hop on end. Some toffee. very malty. Ok

Bottle. Amber, hazy, small and fully diminishing head. Moderate malty and sweetish aroma, some caramel and light toffee with light bread. Medium, malty and sweetish flavor, some caramel and light bread. Finish is average, malty and sweetish, light caramel and light bread with light alcohol. Sweetish bock with some caramel - that’s it.

0.5 l bottle, thanks Timo A! Amber color. Sweet bready and raisiny aroma. Sweet bready, toffeish and slightly raisiny flavor. Fairly sweet, bready and mellow, could have something more punchy.

Mild ist die Einleitung in das Bier, trocken, gediegen malzig und alkoholisch süß. Im Mittelteil dazu noch klebrig, das Bier wird trockener. Etwas getreidig, für einen Bock zu mild. Zum Ende etwas würziger aber weiterhin spärlich aromatisch. Nicht sonderlich gelungen. 8/7/6/7/9/6
