Commercial Description:
A traditional bock-beer-speciality of Castle Eggenberg. This beer is brewed only seasonally and therefore available during Christmas and Easter holidays.

Bottle. Nice and tasty. Aroma is floral and spicy. Flavour has average duration, and it’s sweet, with light bitterness. Oily in the palate, and medium body. Yellow colour, with a frothy white head.

White weak head. Deep goden olour. Aroma is malty, with grainy notes and a hint of hoppy and alcohol. Flavor is malty with bready tones, very watery, eding in a no-carachter finish. Medium bodied.

I can se how this beer languishes in the 36th percentil at 2.92 as it does look like, at least at first glance, to be a souped up lager with a big dose of malt and alcohol. But, the sweet malt action is very well crafted and the slippery palate structure, not doubt helped in part through the alchol, is really quite attractive. The flavours almost stray in Belgian Ale territory with pongy candied malts. Nice.

Bottle labeled Magalotti 1845 Bock. Pours a clear gold with a thin white head. Light malt aroma, slightly sweet. Very average.

Bottle. The bottle I tried was labelled ’Magalotti 1845 Bock’. Poured clear golden with a quickly diminishing, little white head. Smelled like cooking lager with metallic and soapy overtones. Flavour fairly bland as well with grains and a bit of sweetness. Alcohol well hidden though. A bit of a letdown really.

Bevuta come "Magalotti 1845 Bock", comperata all’Ipercoop di Genova (Bolzaneto); birra di scarsissimo impatto, tipicamente prepotente heller bock con piccante pronunciato e un bel po’ di metallo. Difficile da mandare giù, non terribile ma tranquillamente evitabile; c’è chi l’ha provata col gelato al limone per la disperazione.
