Thanks for purchasing another offering in our Big Mo’ Series. Our Rye Bock is a pleasant departure from traditional bocks and rye beers. The use of malted rye in beer finds its origins in Bavaria. We here at Left Hand use a bottom fermenting lager yeast, paired with a hop profile of classic German bocks. Our Rye Bock gets a wonderful tangy spiciness from the rye, accompanied by dried cherry aromas in the nose. It is a beer of great flavor with a long, savory finish.…

750 bottle...pours a cloudy brown with a thick beige head...very bready aroma + sweet malts...the flavors are penetrated with rye (yum)...a little caramel detected and a little smokiness...alcohol well hidden.....an easy tasty drinker...nice body, a little creaminess to it...a zinginess mid-palate and a bit of hop on the finish...a little nutty too

pours amber with tan head. Aroma is malty, rye and caramel with light floral hops. Yeasty nose - vegetable, grassy -. Taste is similar to aroma. Malty light roasted and caramel. Rye with light hoppy finish, giving the beer a nice velvety mouthfeel.. Everything comes together with the malts and hops for a well balanced beer.

Pour is a dark brown with a very large tan head. Aroma is of roasted nuts and obvious rye malt. Flavor is again mostly the rye but I also get a molasses and some dark fruit sweetness. A damn expensive beer for what it is but i was glad to get it on sale to give it a try.

Bottled Cloudy mahogany colour, rich airy head. Above medium bodied with soft well-rounded malt character. Mid sweet with distinct rye bread flavour. Rather low bitterness. A solid, warming beer with good balance.

2009-06-12, blind tasting at Papsø’s, 6-3-7-3-13=32
Cloudy amber to dark amber color; medium head. The aroma is a bit grainy, malty, woody. Grainy caramel flavor, light residual sweetness, a bit nutty, maybe too yeasty. Reasonably strong bitterness. Confused.
2008-08-16, corked bottle, 7-4-7-4-14=36
Cloudy brown color. Good caramel beer, with cereal touch: simplistic aroma, but with a touch of vanilla and hops; semi-sweet flavor, with grainy malt too, correct bitterness and some alcohol. Quite good.

75 cL bottle. Pours dark brown and hazy with a lacing off-white head. Aroma is a mix of caramel, hops and rye malt. Smooth flavoured with hops and a light caramel sweetness and to a nice rye flavoured base body. Easy breadish finish with a light uplifting fruity accent from the hops.7-3-8-3-16=3.7
From bottle, blind #8. Pours cloudy dark brown with a small white head. Cornish, grainy and slight spiced aroma. Mild spiced, honey herbal yet also rather dry flavoured. Bitter and slight spiced finish. Roasted, bitter and slight spiced finish, again lasting dry impression into the far finish.7-3-7-3-15=3.5
