Commercial Description:
The original Stieglbock is a powerful finely hopped and traditional Bockbier – the Berman term for strong beer – indicating a bottom-fermenting brew from barley malt. Brewed in August, the fermentation process lasts three months which produces a golden color beer with taste and strengths varying from year to year. This beer is perfect for beer lovers who prefer bold types of beer. 16.5 Plato

Golden amber pour with a tiny head that lasts only seconds. Carbonation doesn’t last any longer. Aroma is sweet floral fruit. Candy sugar flavor with some fruit and alcohol. Too sweet, and I like a sweeter beer. Perhaps this is a better cool weather beer. Surprised that it is rated at 3.3 and not lower.

Bottled. Deep yellow colour, thick white head. Semlls bready, alcohol. Taste ok, but seriously: too much alcohol in this one.

500ml bottle from trade with Koelschtrinker - thanks!
Orange, thin head. Slightly lagery bocky aroma. Slightly alcoholic and artificial plasticky taste. Fairly resiny bitter - sticky and more like hop extract than whole hops. Not tasty enough to be a sipper, but not very quaffable either due to the alcohol.

Bottle from State Line. Pours turbid dark straw/orangy with 1-finger off-white head. Aroma is pale malt, citrus, honey, mild vegetals. Tastes of pale malt, honey, hops, and some tannins. Not a repeater for me.

330ml green bottle from Meinl am Graben, Wien. Poured a fast fading white head. Clear golden body colour. Sweet fruity nose. Flavoured with pears, light hops and a touch of sweet malts. Hidden alcohol. Roundd mouthfeel and rather well bodied (03.12.2007).

I enjoyed this beer, as it offered an array of flavors and melded well to offer a great complexity. It is fuller bodied, but stays refreshing, and is well rounded in character. The slight alcohol burn is hardly noticable, and actually offers a nice element to this well done heller bock. I wish it were slightly more hoppy, as it is noble...to say the least

Pours dark golden with a fully receding off-white head. Aroma of sticky malt, sweet graininess, Taste is sweet malt, doughy bread, light caramel and honey with harsh graininess. Mouthfeel is full bodied, slightly sticky with moderate carbonation. A bit too sweet and sticky for my liking.

Bottle sampled. Pours a clear amber with a white head. Aroma of sweet malt, caramel,and earthy hops. Flavor is medium bodied with light malt sweetness, caramel, fruit, and a hint of some spices with a clean finish. A decent brew
