Aufsesser Bock Bier

Bottle. Clear amber colour. Flat carbonation, slightly sweet and malty in the beginning, becomes increasingly bitter towards the end.

plopp-bottle. dark-red colour, solid head. starts astonishingly dry, nearly bitter. malty tones in the middle, ends up with malt and hops. quite untypically but therefore interesting.

Swing top bottle. Dark brown color. Cacao, chocolate, toffee and malt in the aroma. Malty sweet flavor with dark chocolate and toffee. So thick you can almost chew on this beer. Low on carbon. Hint of laurel in the aftertaste. I just love this bock!

flip-top-bottle nearing the best before date: auburn colour, caramelly aroma, full, but not too sweet body, dried fruit (plums) and a roasted, almost smoky note with intense bitterness in the aftertaste.

(swing-top-bottle) Clear, amber to copper colour with a rather short but also persistent and slowly lacing off-white foam. Sweet and chewy toast-malty aroma, with caramel, melanoidinic molasses and notes of herbal hops and a faint alcohol. Sweet flavour, full bodied with a mellow mouthfeel. Aromatic, well attenuated slightly roasted malt-character, nutty and minimal-fruity with herbal notes coming along early. Malty, sweet-bitter finish with distinctive herbal hoppy and well-integrated alcoholic notes. Superb, world-class Bock.

Bottle. Clear amber / red color with a small none lacing white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, caramel, earth., notes of alcohol. Initial flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light to moderate bitter, finish flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is flat, finish feel is light alcoholic.

Beautiful red-orange-amber colour; with yellowish, fast gone head. Earthy, chocolate, caramle, esters & some kind of heavy, dark & syrupy liqueur, ending in freshly kilned malt. Very good nose! Taste is again very earthy, leafy, lightly burned - at the edge of smoked - like very hotly, unsalted peanuts. A bitterish, more liquid version of Malay peanut sateh-sauce. A bit of sesam and chestnut cream mash flavours mixed in. No trace of the oversweet bready mold we’re used to; much more to the bitter side: part hops, but more roasted. Medium bodied, slightly silky texture, neither thick nor watery. Slightl burning MF. Superb example of Bockbier - great, Sebastian! Only one remark: either this is not a Heller Bock, or I’m getting colourblind...

Flip-top bottle (from Landbierdealer) : Clear, amber coloured, small and stable white head; complex nose: sweet caramelly maltiness and a resinous hoppy touch; medium bodied, well hidden alcohol, robust bitter-sweet flavour; soft MF, low carbonation; lasting bitter-aromatic, sweetish-toasted-malty, nearly a bit fruity finish with a lingering hoppiness in the aftertaste. Very well rounded and balanced Bock, extremely well quaffable. A splendid time is guarenteed for all......
