Watzdorfer Burg Bock

bottle, traded with derkaro. Clear amber-brown colour, big beige head. Full-bodied, very malty, slightly sweet flavour with hints of roasetd malt, toffee and caramel. Slightly fruity. A well-balanced and crispt Bock with a dry and pleasantly hoppy finish.

Bottle, 6.2%. Malty, slightly dusty aroma. Clear dark brown colour, very small white head. The flavour is quite malty with a little dust and some citric notes. OK bread note to balance. Strangely citric.

Thanks to Papsoe for allowing me the chance to be the first non-European to rate this. Pours a clear nut-brown with medium frothy white head that quickly retreats. Aroma is dominated by sweet malts with a hint of dried fruits and a touch of vinegar. In the mouth, it starts sweet, malty and fruity, then finishes drier and the vinegar/sourness comes back (though again, just a touch). There’s some residual bitterness. A decent beer that I wouldn’t hesitate to drink again, but wouldn’t seek out.

Bottled:
Amber orange color. Sweet flavor, some nut, honey and caramel flavor. Dry, balanced bitter finish. Quite o.k. bock.

(bottle) Clear amber colour with a small frothy beige head. Sweet malty aroma, slightly roasted with caramel. Sweet flavour, sweet roasted malty taste, caramel, sweetbitter, slightly hoppy and slim finish. Average, but still drinkable Bock.
