Sweetie. I’ve got a tramp. He lives near enough, could be a winner. I hope it is the start of a beautiful relationship. Bock. I like the word Bock. Bock. Noodle. Upthrust.

Bottled 13/10/12. An amber coloured beer with an off-white head. Sweet caramel, fruits and cereals in the nose. Same in the mouth with a bit of sweet vomit. A good body and all told a decent heller bock.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle @ The Priory Arms. Served in a ceramic mug. The pour’s deep brown with a massive white/tan head. The nose is rich nut, plenty of malt, brown bread. The taste is much the same. Plenty of smooth, nutty caramel notes. Not overly sweet or cloying. Refreshingly light, not heavy for the ABV. Overall, actually quite decent.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Rehills, Newcastle. A bright amber coloured beer with very rich caramel and burnt toffee flavours, red fruity notes and a warming finish.
4.6 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
This is probably my favorite beer from Hofbrau. So much maltiness going on here! Pours a deep amber/copper into the glass with a nice head. Nose is of caramel and toasted malts with some yeast character too. Taste is like of a malt compilation in your mouth so much going on. Nice warming character from the 7.2abv and it is scary how drinkable it is. I always look forward to this beer in the late spring.
2.5 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: MAR 15, 2013 Bottle shared with MichaelBruch. Very rich and smoothy texture, sweetish taste with some welcome bitterness. Strong alcohol flavour combined with dark bread. Very groundy.

I threw back a bottle of this at Adam’s while hanging out and brewing a helles. Thanks man!
The beer is transparent and light orange colored, with a small white head. Pockets of carbonation are visible throughout the beer. The aroma smells of a sweet lager with hints of fruit. The beer has a mild earthiness about it. The flavor brings a distinctive German lager character, with light fruit and a present sweetness. One is plenty for me, as the sweetness slowly becomes cloying. A decent brew and a solid example of the style, I would have it again.
