“Vierzehnheiligener Bier Nothelfer Fastenbock“, Flasche (50 cl) von Hopfen & Malz, Berlin-Wedding. - Tiefstes Kastanienbraun, klar; der sahnige Schaum hinterläßt schöne Ringe. - In der Nase gediegenes dunkles Malz mit feinen Röstnoten, zarte Bitterschokolade, hintergründige hopfenwürzige Herbe. - Antrunk füllig aber elegant dunkelmalzig mit feiner trockener Kakaonote und milder, hintergründiger krautiger Herbe. Eine zarte fruchtige Säure stört nicht, eine zart seifige Note schon eher. Mild rezent, vollmundig aber nicht breit. Im Abgang schwache Mokkabittere und milde krautige Hopfenherbe. - Elegant dunkelmalziger, schlanker und zurückhaltender Bock; ein aufschlußreicher Kontrast zu dem vorher verkosteten Animator von Hacker-Pschorr, der als Münchner Bier malzbreit und derb gehopft daherkommt, wohingegen dieser fränkische Doppelbock leise und fast vergrübelt wirkt.

Draft at Trunk. Clear amber with a medium white head. Aroma had toasted malt, caramel and hints of rye bread. Flavor had toasted malt, caramel, chocolate and pumpernickel. Finished dry and roasted. Perfect balance. Lovely!

Lahev: Ruby-amber coloured, clear, smaller - but stable off-white head; sweet toasty nose, including dried fruits and chocolate; moderate sweet flavour, mildly balanced by a delicate bitterness, medium bodied, quite soft; slightly increasing bitterness in the all in all sweet nutty and caramelly finish. Good franconian quality…

(bottle) Clear, mahogany colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Moderately roasty malty aroma with notes of bread crusts, a heavy load of caramel and a delicately touch of hoppy spice in the background. Moderately sweet, as well as mildly hoppy and roasty bitter flavour, medium to full bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Roasty malt-character in combination with caramel, crusty bready notes and a tinge of chocolate; moderately sweet malt-accented finish with a balancing level of hoppy and roasty bitterness. Fairly good and quite Franconian. 03.III.15

Malzaromatischer Beginn mit Honignuancen. Röstaromen werden von süßlichen Noten überlagert, leicht hefig. Die Malzigkeit wird dann intensiver, sowohl der röstige als auch der süße Anteil. Aromatisch, steigende Hintergrundbitterkeit. Gelungener, vielleicht auf Dauer zu süßer Bock. 9/10/11/11/13/12

Had this from tap at the same place as Mads Langtved. Clear brown color, short off-white head. Bocky aroma of hop, caramel malt, bit roasted, bit fruity. Bitter and malty taste. Decent balance, but not fantastic.
