Bottle picked up from Landbierparadies Webshop, Nürnberg and consumed at home Wednesday 18th January 2023 listening to Steve Lamaq on 6 Music, we had a very nice Salmon meal with a Pomegranate, Red Onion and Mint Salsa. Pours cloudy chestnut brown with a dirty large off white head.Wow this is so bitter, really bitter, fruity and with a real tang. Soft moutheel, some caramel and a citrussy edge. Still cannot get over how staggeringly bitter this beer is, particularly for the style, I really am super surprised at this, it has a very lengthy dry finish. I know that there will be many who'd argue that this is not right for the style, sometimes you have to look beyond that and think wow this is just an amazing beer that's a rather extreme version of the style.

Many thanks to kevnic2008 for this bottle! The beer is round and fresh. Nice dry with lots of burned brown sugar. Easy to drink, nice intense with a nice roasted bitterness. Not too sweetish, more burned caramel. Long bitter roasted caramelly burned aftertaste. Very nice.

Flasche (50 cl) vom Landbierparadies, Nürnberg. - Goldbraun, klar. - Nase mild dunkelmalzig und matt orangenfruchtig-herb. - Antrunk kernig dunkelmalzig und schön malzbitter. Weit weniger malzsüß als sortentypisch und erwartet. Mild rezent, für einen Bock sehr trocken. Im Abgang kommen eine erfrischende orangenfruchtige Hopfennote und holzige Herbe zur malzigen Bittere hinzu. Kräftig bitterer, holzig herber Nachtrunk. - Erstaunlich bitterer, trockener Bock, selbst für einen Liebhaber fränkischer Biere wie mich etwas schwer zu trinken. Verdient allein für seine Originalität eine gute Bewertung, trotz hemmungsloser Bittere. (2.3.2016: 3,3.) Wiederholung: vom Faß beim Hennemann in Sambach. - Vom Faß weicher, fülliger und glatter, knispelig kaffeebitter und aromatisch hopfenherb. - Ganz ungewöhnlich bitterer, außerordentlicher Bock. Große Klasse! (24.11.2019.)

Many thanks for this beer to kevnic2008. Piwo o fajnej pianie, rosnacej szybko, zwlaszcza w drugim etapie nalewania, niestety szybko opada. Kolor piwa to brazowo miedziana barwa lekko mglista. W smaku karmelowe, tostowe oraz wedzone sliwki, chmielnosc dosc pokazna jak na ciemnego bocka. Tresciwe w dodatku i smaczne ogolnie.

Weicher, nussig malziger Beginn. Dann trockene Holznoten, spürbar hopfenbitter. Dunkel, etwas karamellig. Zum Ende sticht erneut die Hopfenbitterkeit hervor, die Malzigkeit ist vergleichsweise gering. 8/9/10/9/7/9
