Left Hand Rye Bock

On tap at Taco Mac located in Kennesaw, GA on Chastain Road (Chastaino Mac). Appearance: Clear, dark chestnut brown body with a small, white head. Smell: Aroma of toasty caramel, chocolate, cherries, and golden raisins. Taste: Rich medley of chocolate, burnt caramel, and fruit flavors upfront with a medium amount of sweetness. The fruitiness subsides, allowing a touch of alcohol to take its place. Hint of Slight encroaching spiciness from the rye grains and hops. Warming, long finish with all of the flavors simply not wanting to let go and say "goodbye". Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: I’d had one of the original bottles back in the day and, well, didn’t like it one bit. This, however, is much better.

Honey and malt aroma, slightly tannic, slightly floral. Misty, tea-colored with a thin ringing head. Clear, sweet, lightly bitter, a graham cracker maltiness. Medium body, bitter and twangy on the front of the tongue. Medium -long bitter finish. Good and interesting.

<i>75 cl corked and caged bottle:</i><br />Pours dark reddish brown with a slight haze. Head is big and foamy. Aroma is sweet with notes of berries; red currants and blueberries. Flavour is sweet with notes of caramel and aniseed. The finish is long and really bitter.

750 I bought a ways back at the Vienna Virginia Whole Foods. That cork was a total bitch to get out. Pours orange with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is smoky and malty with notes of rye. Taste has some more smoke in it with some nice rye notes, tasty brew.

(750ml bottle, courtesy of Kevin) Pours a murky brown body with a tall beige head. Aroma of toasted malt, rye, mustiness, and dried cherry. Flavor of toasted bread, chocolate, caramel malt, and rye.
