Commercial Description:
Thanks for purchasing another offering in our Big Mo' Series. Our Rye Bock is a pleasant departure from traditional bocks and rye beers. The use of malted rye in beer finds its origins in Bavaria. We here at Left Hand use a bottom fermenting lager yeast, paired with a hop profile of classic German bocks. Our Rye Bock gets a wonderful tangy spiciness from the rye, accompanied by dried cherry aromas in the nose. It is a beer of great flavor with a long, savory finish. The image of a goat has traditionally been the symbol of bock beers. It was customary to feed goats rye to make them potent in the spring. We love the marriage of these two ideas. Will our Rye Bock exacerbate your spring fever? Maybe not, but trying out old folklores never tasted so good.

Bottle 75 cl. Pours an almost clear amber with a creamy off-white head. Sweetish aroma of roasted malt and pumpernickel. Medium body, a little low in carbonation, sweetish roasted malt and pumpernickel. Hardly any bitterness in the finish. 120609

Man, this stuff is overrated. Pours hazy, brownish to rieddish with short lived head. Smell is grainy cereal. Taste is sweet and not much of any rye present. Lots of malty cereal character. Medium body. Ugh..Very sweet, and a drain pour.

Pours a dark amber. Heavy aroma of molasses, caramel and sweet malt. Taste is too sweet for me with a cloying malty aftertaste.

Butters Big Blowout - Pours a hazy dark red. Roasted malt, caramel, some fruit. Taste is similar, although rye finally shows up to the party. Sweetness. Medium bodied. Really enjoyed this beer.

Bottle shared at Butter’s Big Cellar Blowout. Opaque burnt orange pour with good ring of tan head. Nose is bready, toasty, and sweet malts. Flavor is sweet caramel malts, apple. Nice and moderately creamy body.
