Left Hand Rye Bock

Thanx to Ekstedt! Hazy red brown colour, with almost no head. Aroma of yeast,malts, caramel and Chocolate. Flavor was smouth medium body,malty mouth feeeling, with a caramely finish. A nice bock.

2008 Bottling. Aroma is a sweet malty scent. Color is a deep amber with very active carbonation and a very tall thick head that just keeps growing. Taste is malty and bitter. Starting with a medium body it goes down crisp. Finish comes in malty, roasted and a little nutty then a bold bitterness rolls though. After taste is more bitterness. Not bad but the bitterness overpowers the malt making it a bit unbalanced.

Bottle (75 cl) from Systembolaget. Clear copper, large soapy off-white head. Dusty and earthy pototoe malt aroma, some caramel and tofee notes, could not pick out any rye. Medium bodied and smooth. Nicely balanced.

750 mL bottle purchased at Coaltrain Wine and Liquor. Pours dark brown with an average, fizzy, light brown head, somewhat lasting with fair lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (caramel, cookie), light hops (grass), average yeast (dough, sweat) with notes of apple, pear, and toffee. Medium bodied, thin texture, average carbonation, and a chalky finish. Average duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

Not too bad for a rye bock. You can definitely taste and smell the rye! Appears dark amber, slightly cloudy with a nice light brown head.

this is a great beer with high caramel flavor, not too bad on the hops but the rest give a high content of flavor.

The aroma is malty with what I think is rye and earthy nots and incense. The appearance is brown with a large head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Interesting but thats all.

On tap @ Buckeye: Pours a clear copper with a light tan head. Aroma, rye, doughy malts, some smoky notes, caramel. Flavor, rye, some spices, caramel, earthy notes, some doughy malts.
