Commercial Description:
Thanks for purchasing another offering in our Big Mo' Series. Our Rye Bock is a pleasant departure from traditional bocks and rye beers. The use of malted rye in beer finds its origins in Bavaria. We here at Left Hand use a bottom fermenting lager yeast, paired with a hop profile of classic German bocks. Our Rye Bock gets a wonderful tangy spiciness from the rye, accompanied by dried cherry aromas in the nose. It is a beer of great flavor with a long, savory finish. The image of a goat has traditionally been the symbol of bock beers. It was customary to feed goats rye to make them potent in the spring. We love the marriage of these two ideas. Will our Rye Bock exacerbate your spring fever? Maybe not, but trying out old folklores never tasted so good.

Caged/corked. Pours with a ruggedly reddish brown color and just a fizzle of head. The aroma is mildly medicinal, but quite restrained. Interesting drink here ... a broad blend of stuff going on here, from a easy going roast, a teaser of dark fruit, and a kiss of chocolate in the finish. Very tasty brew and exceptionally well assembled at 7.7%! (#3422, 4/15/2008)

Dark reddish-amber. Spicy, chocolatey aroma with lots of hop and caramel. Fun stuff. Spicy, caramelly, hoppy, woody with hints of chocolate and nuts. Fresh rye character. Good times.

Pours a nice brownish amber with a large off white head. Aroma is nice and toasty and slightly sweet. The flavor is dark fruit with a tang of fennel.

Draft @ Buckeye Beer Engine: Pleasantly surprised by this one. Pours a dark mahogany brown with a thick frothy head. Aroma is sweet, dried fruit, maybe a hint of dark sugars. Flavor is sweet, burnt rye malts, brown sugar. Good mouthfeel, hides alcohol dangerously well.

750 ml bottle - Pours a hazy brown color with a large off white head. Aroma is toasted malt. Flavor is toasted malt and light esters. Medium body. A decent beer but one I will probably not buy again.
