Hofbräu München Urbock

Brewed by Staatliches Hofbräuhaus München
Style: Heller Bock
Munich, Germany

This is an excellent, toasty, well-rounded, characterful maibock. It’s reddish copper with a medium, off-white head shrinking slowly to a thin,permanent top, with a little weak lace. The aroma is a rich, wonderful maibock with strong, sweet toasted bread, whole wheat, thick raisiny-fruity alcohol, hints of leaves and brown sugar. The taste is similar, with rich, dark raisiny alcohol and spiciness, rich sweet toasted bread, and hints of leaves and dried fruit. It has full sweetness balanced by light spicey-herbal-leafy bitterness and dried-fruit spiciness. The elements balance nicely and it has a full, frothy feel.

Draft, Chinese Tower
Gorgeous golden amber. Bright with a thick head. Fantastic liquid bread aroma. Fairly strong with an understated bread, breadcrust character. Pretty good, muscular bock, but I think I like the other HB bocks better.

Draft. Is a pure amber, nice looking brew with big fluffy head. Sweet caramelly aroma is a little bready with some juniper/gin. Slightly prickly palate does go down well. The flavors are really nice. More bread comes out here than in the aromas, with nice bread crust elements. Very nice bock.

Toasted malt, nose light though. Nice dark amber, golden low head. Sweet honeyish malt, Herbal hop counter. Herbal finish. Chewy, forcecarbonated.
