2007 Bottle Conditioned
12/18/2008: Left Hand Rye Bock Lager has a rich honey-amber color. There are tides of tiny carbonation bubbles that create a large, dense, khaki-colored head on the top with stiff peaks that depsoits puffy lacing on the glass. The aroma includes sugary toasted malts that are slightly roasty and a definite rye characteristic. This beer smells very inviting and has a great presentation for a rye beer. Flavors include caramel sweetness, tasted malts, dry tangy rye in the middle, and a dry roasted rye flavor with spice and coffee in the finish. This beer is very balanced and complex and has aged just right (I wouldn’t want to hold onto it much longer). It has a medium-full body and a very good mouthfeel. This is an excellent beer thatn completely passes my expectations!
1 Pint, 9.36 fl. oz. corked and caged bottle (Alc. By Vol. 7.7%) from Jungle Jim’s International Market in Fairfield, Ohio. Rating #211 for this beer.

Grand Tasting @ The Harlequin, Sheffield.
Pours hazy amber with a big, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is pure rye bread with that sour-bread tartness to it. Medium carbonation, fine dry mouthfeel. Flavour is much better and more complex than the aroma. Some honey, rye, sweetness, nuts and lightly vinious. Okay.

Jul 3, 2009 On tap at the Flying Saucer in KC. Pours a cloudy, mahogany colored body with a thick and dense, two-finger width, light tan head that dissipates slowly and leaves a nice, thick and foamy lacing. Aroma is mild with some sweet, grainy malts and rye bread. Some soft spices and chocolates, dark fruits, and a light toasty caramel. Similar flavor. Sweet caramels and a light rye breadiness. Some dark fruits and prunes, chocolate, toasted toffee, and a light hop bitterness. Finishes sweet with a light spice, somewhat dry and moderately sweet and spiced bread aftertaste. Medium to full body. Overall, not bad at all, just not very exciting. Soft spicing and moderately sweet malts make this somewhat enjoyable.
