rhinobrau (17), Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA Aug 7, 2009 Aroma is malty with just a hint of green bottle skunkiness. Pours with a sparkling copper clarity and a nice head. Starts with a strong malt flavor and no skunk (musta got a fresh one) followed by a smooth, drying finish. I’d love to have this on tap somewhere. Excellent beer. HomeBrewHawk (263), De Soto, Kansas, USA Jul 10, 2009 12oz. green bottle served in a pilsner glass. Poured a clear copper with two fingers of off white head. Rich malty aroma, not really caramel, but that distinctive German malt aroma. Also some faint noble hops. The flavor is not as malty as the aroma might suggest, but there is a good malt base. On the lighter side of medium bodied. There is a bit of hop bitterness in the middle. Not sweet at all for all the malt, actually finishes fairly dry. Very drinkable to me. Nice bock.
