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

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.

Not what I was expecting, because I made the mistake of judging this brew by the "malt liquor" description on the label. Pouring this light amber brew into my glass, I had vision of Schlitz in my head as I girded my loins for the first sip. Imagine my surprise to find the malts coming through in a smoky, lightly alcoholic undertaste rather than the cloying nastiness that characterizes comparable American brews. Over all, I found Stieglbock to be a nicely warming, drinkable brew.

Bottle from Party Source. Poured a clear amber with an average frothy white head that diminished slowly and produced good lacing. Average sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium sweet malt flavor with a medium sweet finish of average duration.

jeverszeuge (200) - GERMANY - AUG 25, 2007
orange-amber colour. vanishing head. sweet smell with arome of berries. soft carbonation, sweet but with hops. mid brings more hops and stars to stick the lips together. the end brings hops and in the background malty taste. quite rare and therefore test-worthy.

Goodgrief (1608) - Middletown, Delaware, USA - AUG 15, 2007
June 2005 - Poured nice rich golden brown with decent head and lacing. Has a nice rich "bocky" taste that I’m growing quite fond of. Rich and well balanced. A good showing.

stegosaurus (1882) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 27, 2007
Bottle sampled. Pours deep golden/orange with a decent size off-white head. Aroma of fruit, caramel, and sweet malts. The flavor is fruit, sweet, caramel, and finishes mildly bitter. Decent brew.

krysztofar (344) - belleville, Illinois, USA - JUL 14, 2007
500ml. Bright golden caramel color with a tight foamy white head. Fresh and fruity nose with apricot and caramel showing up as well as some faint hops. The body of this beer is pretty full, lots of caramel and mild sweetness are balanced by a slightly yeasty european hop character. like the start more than the finish but this is pretty good stuff and i would drink it again.
