Left Hand Rye Bock

Pours murky brown with a huge light brown head of small bubbles, fruity, yeasty aromas. Smokey chocolate-caramel, sugar plum and rye bread flavors. Medium to full bodied and very carbonated, crisp mouthfeel reminds me of a weizenbock. This is one hell of a beer, the best this brewery has to offer IMO.

Cloudy amber with big, floatsam head / Nose of malt, dried cherries, and spice / Medium, dry, creamy hop body with good finish / Lush, earthy flavors of rye, mushrooms, molasses, and malt, and a spicy rye finish / Very good but questionably expensive.

Hazy pur into my dimpled mug. Chocolate mahoganey that swarms with dissolved yeast culutre. Creamy wihte head shows the virtures of bottle-conditioning. Spicy on the nose, not all hops, some malt fruit and biscuity aromas. Toasted Rye bread perhaps? Initially, it’s a little sweet on the opening sip. This quickly turns into a melange of grain bitterness and hop freshness. Even though this beer is bigger than the 7% it seems to creep up very fast, maybe it’s the rate mof consumption that aides this. Cool beer, even in the warm weather this will be a favorite.

Nice dark brown color,large tan head that lasted for a long time only to fade slowly to a nice lace.Malty fruity aroma with maybe a bit of hops in it.Nice fruity flavor of plum and maybe some citrus but hard to say.Over ripe apple and a nice amount of hops that don’t get in your face but just give a nice hint and make you want more of this brew.The finish is fruity and effervescent, with a nice malt fruit after taste.Truly wonderful stuff much better then i was expecting and i wish i had much more for this winter.Thanks go to Jpdipso for sending this fine nectar my way.

Hazy brown with beautiful streaks of brilliant ruby. Fluffy, fizzy, ample pecan-colored head. The big, malty aroma is warm and inviting. Chocolate, caramel, light smoke, mixed nuts, toffee, toasted bread and sweet, ripe cherry, raisin and fig. Soft, supple texture and a creamy and smooth body make this enjoyable physically. The flavors continue to show the big malts in this beauty. Not much in the way of bitterness (hops or otherwise) to distract one from the sweet maltiness. And I was not disappointed at all. It was just an enjoyable, malty doppelbock made with Rye to help smooth the body and add an additional element of creaminess to the body. Another great celebratory beer from the folks at Left Hand / Tabernash / Indian Peaks.
