Heller Getreideantrunk. Schnell kommt eine holzig-süße Störnote auf, die sich noch versucht einzufügen, was aber nicht wirklich gelingt. So bleibt das Aroma lange erhalten, wird aber stetig schwächer. Leider gibt es, abgesehen von einer trockenen Grasnuance keine weiteren Aromen, die dagegenwirken. Soklingt das Bier mild getreidig und holzig-trocken aus, wirkt aber dennoch gerade hier sehr süffig. Danke an den Doppelbock für das Bier! 8/7/9/9/8/9

Bottle@Home, thanks DerDoppelbock! Malty aroma with nice hops. Dark yellow colour, off-white head, good lace. Sweet, bitter, malty, well hopped, light fruity. Full bodied and warming. Flavourful, easy going. I’m not a big fan of Heller Bock but this one certainly is very nice.

Golden, low carbonation, low head. Light malt aroma, slight spices. Medium to light body, light honeyish malt and herbal hops. A bit weak bock. refreshing though.

Swing-top. Clear golden pour, above avg carb and a violent short off-white head. Aroma is mildly sweet and “bocky” (vinous, grapey, fruity), even a note of dough. Also tastes bocky, but unlike most bocks, not sticky sweet – this is much more refined. Smooth and classy. Thanks to pivnizub!

Thanks a lot MoritzF!!! Nice small head on the golden brew. Light sweet and frutiy nose and taste - I would say apricot. Kind of thin - a bit oily but still nice.

Swing top bottle from Pivnizub. Malty aroma with sherry notes. Malty sweet, flowery flavor, that tends to hide the alcohol. Chewing gum. Well matured and rounded. Deceptively drinkable.

Light sweet lager nose, pale gold color. Fruity, pear and apricot malt flavor, honey sweetness, light spic end but not bitter. Medium body, slight oily feel. Decent overall.

(swing top bottle) Clear golden colour with a nice foamy white head. Moderately sweet malty and slightly fruity (ripe pears) aroma with a tinge of hops and alcohol. Sweet flavour, medium body, smooth carbonation. Initially sweet, but not too sweet maltiness, again slightly fruity notes; medium dry malty and slightly hoppy finish, slightly bitter and alcoholic. Not perfectly balanced and rounded but tasty and pleasant to drink.

Swing-top bottle: Mid-sized creamy head, slowly diminishing, amber coloured; unusual sweetish fruity (peaches ?) and dusty/malty nose; moderate sweetish-malty flavour, a bit alcoholic; sweet-malty finish with some bitterness arriving very late. Not bad, but this Bock lacks some moderate bitterness......................
