Description
Centuries of brewing tradition, the best ingredients and strict compliance with the Bavarian Purity Law of 1516 are quality that you can taste with every sip! The Rittmayer Brewery is one of the oldest breweries in Forchheimer Land. The family business dates back to 1422. The brewery even received its own coat of arms certificate from the Count of Kulmbach because of its good beer.

In spring 2012, our new brewery on the outskirts of Hallerndorf went into operation right next to our filling center. It is one of the most innovative medium-sized breweries in all of Germany.

Bottle at home. Aroma is big smoke, sweet malt, smoked bacon, peated malt, caramel. Flavour is rather sweet, on the sticky side. A little bitterness in the finish. Body is medium. Damn, one of the most heavily smoked beers I’ve had, this one means business. Unfortunately, the sweetness is rather potent as well.

Bottle from Drankenhandel Leiden. Aroma is sweet brown malt with caramel, notes of dried fruits, and light roast. Sweet flavour with a light to moderate bitterness. Body is medium. Pretty ordinary sweet Bock, I expected something a little bit more interesting from this brewery.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Pours a cloudy, opaque dark brown with a short, beige head. Nose of molasses and dark, dried fruit, plenty of figs and dates - and alcohol. Rich and fat body with all of the above. Sweet yes, but far from cloyingly so. There's plenty of bittering hops here. Some licorice in the finish too - and heat. This is the good stuff. 010225
