Dark brown, massive lasting head that is impressive for a Bock, very fruity citrus nose like a black IPA. Very interesting flavor, lingering peach/apricot citrus background with a refreshingly dry palate for a Bock. Really nice, indeed more like a roasty-toasty black IPA / Schwarzbier hybrid. Dangerous, as it doesn't feel like almost eight percent.

Aus der Flasche (bbe 31.01.2025) im 2023-03 getrunken. Dieses Hopfen-Bock hat eine sehr spannende, beige Schaumkrohne wo sich große Blasen bilden und dann Krater entstehen. Es sieht wie eine Mondlandschaft aus. Am Gaumen ist den Name klar Programm. Wobei die deutlichen harzigen Hopfennoten von Karamell- und Röstaromen abvgerundet werden. Auch wenn diese Bock sehr harmonisch ist, mag ich diese harzigen Hopfenaromane gar nicht. Daher ist meine Fazit gut gemachtes Bock und tolle Interpretation, aber leider auch nicht mein Ding!

Bottle picked up from Craft Beer webshop, Parchim, Germany and had this at home Saturday 28th January 2023, drinking along with the live Senatsbock tasting again, we had a Chicken Tikka Masala Curry with homemade Onion Bhajis and homemade Garlic and Chilli Nan breads and Raita. Pours muddy dark chocolate colour with a mid sized light beige head. Quite a bit more fruity than some tonight, I keep hearing someone from the brewery mentioning apricot and I kind of get this, also it has a little BIPA feel about it, hoppiness is there but also roasty. Caused me to have a little sneezing fit, eleven sneezes and counting :-). The brewer seems very nice and is one of the easiest to understand, nice guy.
