0.33l bottle at Base Camp. Lightly hazy golden body, off-white head. Bit caramelly, minerall, simple aroma, yellow plum maybe. Smooth dryish honeyish malty taste, quite lean, bit minerally, alcohol well hidden, but there is some warmth, along with the vaguest herbal presence in the aftertaste one could barely call bitterness. Somehow not too drinkable but not bad.

Thin bod, big head, but low retention and light carbo. Med bitter, light sweet, med-light alco warmth. Medium green apples, light oxidation and vegetables. Little good going on sadly, low malt and hops both, just boozy.

**It's Loz's Birthday** Bottle courtesy of Elaine at work, cheers Elaine! I had this at home Attenkirchen Thursday 14th November 2019 listening to Steve Lamaqs, Evening Session (it's Round Table tonight) and cooking Fish and Chips. Pours clear dark gold with a white head. Quite a syrupy mouthfeel, even a little bitterness, a touch boozy, nice soft bubbles. It's fine, a touch rough around the edges but quite good.

Erlkönig Imperator, Fläschchen von REWE, Neunburg vorm Wald. - Dunkles Goldgelb, klar. - In der Nase fettes helles Malz, Honig, gedämpfte Zitrusfrucht und kräuterige Hopfenherbe. - Antrunk füllig und schwer hellmalzig und zart rauchig mit kräftig bitterer Orangenschale, krautiger Herbe und bitterem Honig aber nur maßvoller Süße. Milder rezent, vollmundig, leicht mineralisch oder kalkig. Im Abgang ringt die kräftige Hopfenherbe mit der honigschweren Malzigkeit. - Schwerer, wuchtig bittersüßer heller Bock, ein wenig derb und nicht so ausgereift wie die besten fränkischen Böcke aber durchaus trinkenswert. (1.10.2019.)

Bottle. Clear golden color with white head. Aroma is honeycomb, powdered sugar, honey. Taste is honeycomb, sugar icing. Oily mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Drinkable for what it is, but 8.5 is just too much for a pale Bock...
