Bodacious Bock is a traditional German spring bock. Three organic malts are employed to give a complexity which hints of honey. Only German noble hops from the Hallertau region are used for a soft bitterness and floral aroma. It is decoction mashed in the old world tradition. This is a strong beer, imbiber beware!

pint can courtesy of Buckeyboy. Pours a murky copper color with a small diminishing head that is soon a fine ring. Aroma is all caramel and toffee malts. Taste is more of the same--over the top caramel. Unfortunately I get just a bit of metal in the taste too, and the mouthfeel is not as full as i would have liked. That aside this is a fine beer that I would enjoy again and again. A nice diversion from the IPA hops bombs that seem to dominate my world. Paired well with some mimolette cheese. Also gave me a nice beer buzz at 0900 on a Sunday morning.

16oz can from Buckeyeboy. Copper colored pour, mild haze, thin cap of foamy head. Sweet, toffee malts in the aroma. More sweet malts in the taste, slick, oily, kind of sticky at the finish. Really solid.

16oz can pours out crisp clean amber topped with a sand head. Nose is nice sweet caramel malts and some spice. Taste is more of the nice sweet caramel malts some toffee and a little yeast.

473ml can. Pours a hazy copper with a small, short lived off-white head that fully dissipates. Sweet aroma of bready malt, caramel and grain with sour lemon. Sweet flavour of bready malt, grain, lemon, honey and alcohol with sour apple cider vinegar in a dry finish. Light to medium body with a thin texture and average carbonation. Drinkable but very sour for a Heller Bock.

Draft at the Montana Brewers Fest in Missoula. Hazy golden color, fluffy white head. Aroma of peppery hay. Taste is bitter straw. OK.

From a 16 oz can. Pours a hazy gold with an off white head. Malty nose. Astringent and tart flavors -- possibly skunked. Not nice.

16oz can pours with a hazy copper to gold body that supports a thin white head. The mild aroma offers up malts, a dab of breadiness, lemon zest and some light funky yeast. Hmmm. The taste starts with malts and some wheat mixed with zingy lemon zest and then a funky sort of yeasty off note. This only gets worse with more samples. Seems a bit infected.
