Der Bourbon Barrel Bock ist ein Bockbier-Cuvée mit einer feinen Whiskey-Note und Green Bullet Kalthopfung. Handgebraut und drei Monate gereift in Bourbon-, Rum- und Tequilafässern, wodurch der Bock sein einzigartiges Aroma erhält. Sein gold-cremiger Farbton deutet auf den ebenso samtig weichen Antrunk mit einem Bourbon-Anklang. Anschließend entfaltet sich die volle Süße mit Vanille- und Karamell-Aromen. Der Abgang gestaltet sich würzig mit einer trockenen Bittere, hier kommt die Holzfasslagerung erneut zur Geltung.

Bottle 33 cl. Pours a clear golden with a small, white head. Nose has subtle, sweet Bourbon. Rich, malty body if not exactly Bockish - I don't know if the barrel thinned out the body somewhat. Hint of tartness, discreet bitterness. I feared a cloying sugar soup which it is far from, but it's not really.....anything. And the Bourbon impact is somewhat disappointing. 230118

Bottle [from trade with RW80, thanks!] @ home. Clear amber color, medium sized off-white head that lasts for quite a while. Smell and taste lightly malts, oak, wood, maybe it's bourbon in there indeed but not in a nice way, not sweet liquor, barrel and vanilla as you'd hope but tart oak / wood flavors, with a soft tart-bitterness. Hmm not very good imo.

"Welde Bourbon Barrel Bock", Flasche (33 cl) von Getränke Hoffmann, Berlin. - Rotbraun, schwach trüb. - In der Nase allerbreitestes Karamelmalz mit deutlicher fuseliger, überreif-fruchtiger Note (Aprikose, Orangenmarmelade), nur schwach Bourbon-ähnlich. - Antrunk breit brotig-karamelmalzig, nur dezent süß, sogar ein wenig säuerlich. Anklänge an Vanille und Kräutertee (ist das der Tequila?), schwach holzig, blaß hopfenwürzig. Für einen Bock fast schlank, leicht trocken. Mäßig bitterer, etwas leerer Abgang. - Unbefriedigender Bock, der heterogene Aromen schlecht integriert; insbesondere die Barrel-Noten wirken aufgesetzt. Jeder solide fränkische Helle Bock ist mir lieber als solche Spielereien.

330 ml bottle, bb 15.05.18, from Biergreissler, Vienna.
Dark amber to copper, clear body, with a medium, fluffy, moderately lacing, light beige head.
Aroma of grains, toffee, wood, some marzipan, sweet fruits, some bread, moderate bourbon.
Tastes similar, with subtle booze.
Medium, a bit oily mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
FInishes medium sweet, a bit dry, a bit warm, wooden, bready, a bit grainy, a bit nutty.
Nice. I was expecting more barrel character, which is just subtly integrated. The typical notes of the style are much more in the foreground, with a bit more wooden and sweet notes. Well balanced, smooth Bock.

Bottle. Pours clear orange. Aroma is bourbon, wood, cedar, coconut, some bock. Body is heavy and boozy, slightly acidic and sweet and strong. A mixture of spirits, but unbalanced. Sweet and boozy, way more than the ABV would tell. Okay.

Bottle. Color: Amber, off-white head. Taste: Like a Heller Bock, mostly medium sweet and malty, some hints of caramel and herbs, with extra notes of bourbon of some wood. This extras go very well with this beer. Medium carbonation and medium to full body.

Vom Fass im Stone Brewing Berlin 2017-01 getrunken. Ein recht gehopftes Bock, der den Fasseinfluß nicht leugnen kann. Ddoch warum haben sie Bourbon-, Rum-, und Tequila-Fässern benutzt? Interessanter wären eher 3 Editionen. Aber so hat es ein undefinierbare Aroma-Mixtur, die nicht stimmig ist.
