Jan 15, 2005 Pale golden color. A very malty nose with hints of fresh cut herbs and grains.
Overly malty and sweet, a medium to full body helles bock with a hint of crispy bitterness. This is too sweet for me! But nevertheless enjoyable with a good raw-sheep milk cheese (Ossau-Iraty)!

Jan 13, 2005 Updated: Jul 16, 2005I need to start carrying around a list of beers I have had. I saw this one at a local shop and thought it looked like something I have never had, but no. Anyhooow I might as well re-rate it. Beauitful pourclear sparkling light copper with a large lasting sea foam head. The aroma is straight forward pale malt with light spiciness. The flavor starts out good, firm malts some comploex sweetness but then things go a bit awry a load of bitterness that is totally unexppected ina bock is followed by some plastic flavors. To be fair the bottle is at least 8 months old at this poiint but my previous rate was a 2.9 with a fresh bottle. Oh well.

Jan 8, 2005 Updated: Nov 30, 2006In the 0.5L bottle. Pours a dark gold color. Has a big fluffy white head. Floral aroma. Very pronounced sweetness to the flavor. Smoothly sweet from a nice level of malt balance. I’m not sure what makes this a winter bock, but it certainly is delicious. UPDATE 11/2006: I still like it, but just not at a 4.0 fondness as before. Dirty dishpan brown in color. Good caramel aroma, maybe a woody smell as well. Great chocolate sweetness. A good rich palate.

Jan 8, 2005 Hoppy, watery, and malty at the same time. Very mainstream in flavor and complexity.

Jan 5, 2005 This also had the Bamberger name on the label. Tastes like Rocky Mountain mist. The good, refreshing kind. Malty. Nice and brown. Floaties. Caramel notes.

Jan 5, 2005 Had about 1/3 of a 16 oz bottle. Didn’t look like what I expected it would. Head was really thick and puffy. A tasty treat for wintry days

Jan 4, 2005 Yay! This was pretty much a maibock - I was expecting a heavy dark monster, but this is a shiny golden sugary peppermill. Copper gold, short fluffy head full of huge bubbles, some lacing. Smelled sweet and some hops. Sweet medium thick malty body with a nice dirty pepper zap at the end to clean up that sugary stuff. Better than I expected it to be!

Jan 2, 2005 Surprising golden color with orange tint, slightly cloudy. Average head. Caramel aroma. Sweet malt flavor. Overall not a bad brew, but neither will I be waiting in anticipation for next year.
