Bügelverschlußflasche Nummer 204 (mit Riesendank an Josh und Jonas!!!): Hazy, reddish-amber coloured, big creamy off-white head; sweet and spicy, malty, a bit Lebkuchen-like nose with a tinge of yeast and a very faint smoky touch; very soft and quite full bodied, mainly solid sweet flavour; lingering malty and slightly smoky finish with a light, but distinctive bitterness in the aftertaste. Superb, moreish Bock...... German Beer #3500!!!!!!!!!!

(swing top bottle, No. 204, via Beershine, Oakes, joss & pivnizub – thanks to you all !) Cloudy, chestnut-brown colour with a thick beige foamy head. Sweet and yeasty caramelly malty aroma with a tinge of butter, accompanied by almost ethereally herbal notes, ginger bread and subtle fruity notes of citrus and dark berries. Sweet flavour with a tinge of bitterness, full bodied with a very smooth carbonation. Rich malty taste with notes of butter, caramel, marzipan and very subtle fruity notes; sweet and complex malty, slightly toasty and faint smokey finish with a good length. An aromatic and eclectic “Doppelbock”, which reminds me of some Danish micro-brewed beers. 08.XII.09.

Bottle, thank you so much Sunshine& Josh! Cloudy red amber, big golden foam. Fruity aroma, with a light rye and smoke edge. Peaches and berries start, speciality grain edges, a hint metal and salt, smoke retronasal. Medium to light body, foamy weissbier mouthfeel. Finishes on a quick blueberry note. reminds me of the Unionsbrau Doppelbock - fruity and deceptive. Yum.

Bottled, thanks Oakes! Cloudy copper colour, small head. Aroma of bubblegum and rye bread with a touch of smoke behind. Near full bodied. Fruity and salty with some esters and mild warming alcohol. Very interesting stuff.

Cloudy, vibrant colour. Amber. Malty aroma with chewy malts, hint of rye, light smoke. Smooth, malty character with hints of alcohol. Light chewy malts, again with a touch of rye. Almost a hint of phenols in the finish. There is a hint of cascade late. Weird mutt beer.
