Style: Heller Bock

This beer was very smooooth. The after taste was clean. the color was not to thick. and the head held its own. Good times wit the bock.

On Tap in Lewisville, Tx. Pours a rich amber color with very little head. The best bock I’ve had to-date. A smooth flavor, full of caramel, and a little like a root beer (as said below). Very good.

Draft at BJ’s Pinellas Park, FL. Nice clear copper color with gold edges and lasting thin off white head. The aroma is sweet malts and caramel. Really nice but could be a bit stronger. Had to struggle to get a good whiff. Medium mouth feel with spot on maltiness of sweet malt, roasted malt and caramel malt mix. Nice balance.

On tap at willowbrook. Has a dark ruby color with a small white head that diminishes quickly. Good lacing on the glass. The aroma is a sweet malt with floral notes. The taste is a sweet caramel malt and a dry finish. A good bock from BJs.

Pours a orange brown color with a small white head. Nose is sweet and of caramel. Taste is tofee and caramel and malt. Nice sweet beer that is very refreshing. I really like this heller bock.

On tap in Pinellas Park, FL, listed as their "special" brew. Poured a clear effervescent light red with a semi-creamy white head. Faint citrus and cream aroma. Flavor is dry and spicy with notes of fruit, cinnamon, and a bit of alcohol. Could have been a bit fruitier and less dry, considering the light strength, but I enjoyed it.

Draft in Orlando... Clear amber lager with orange highlights and a small, wispy, off-white head. Sweet crystal malt aroma with notes of honey and spicy hops. Caramel malt and honey flavor with a crisp, spicy hop bite. Medium-bodied and oily with moderate carbonation. Bittersweet, medium dry finish.

Copper pour and clear. No head. Mild nutty and dusty chocolate like nose to it. Some cocoa powder as well. Taste is slightly creamy, yet slightly chalky. Flavor is thin, and mild, yet refreshing, and some cocoa I thought. Unlike any other heller bock I’ve had, but actually more enjoyable for me although probably not very representative of the style. Simple, thin and drinkable, but not offensive.
