Optisch gut. Schöne orange Farbe, gute Menge Hefe. Geschmacklich vergorene und gekochte Früchte, viel säuerlicher Balsamico und Zitrusnoten. Zu viel Kohlensäure. Kann man trinken, insgesamt aber eher sperrig und viel zu sauer.

Keesmann Bock Eiche, eichenholzgereift u. unfiltriert, Fläschchen von Hopfen & Malz im Wedding. - Orangegold, schwach trüb; kaum Schaum. - In der Nase Trockenobst, herber Pfirsich und Kräuterlikör. - Antrunk tief hellmalzig mit rauchigem Karamel, Holz und Trockenobst. Dezente Süße von Waldhonig und Kandis. Milde hopfenwürzig-grasige Herbe. Fette bocktypische Schwere, nicht völlig kaschierter Alkohol, Likör-ähnlich. Im Abgang wird die holzige Note zu penetrant, umspielt wird sie von Vanillezucker und etwas blasser, trocken hopfenwürziger Herbe. - Bei diesem neuen Doppelbock war sich die Brauerei Keesmann wohl selbst nicht ganz sicher - das für ein Bier dieser Stärke extrem kurze MHD (09/20) deutet darauf hin. Ein Experiment, arg unrund aber mit Sicherheit noch ausbaufähig. (3.9.2020.)

Bottle, danke vielmals Georg! Light hazy golden with a lightly off-white lace, dusty flowers, dried hay, medium light sweet wood sugar notes, dust, moppy, lacquer retronasal.

Perfectly clear light golden, with a healty white head that shows good retention and excellent lacing. Aroma is on the weakish side with not too distinct notes: light cereal malts, slight honey, plus grassy and light lemonish notes. Taste is a bit more vivid and bright: cereal and slightly crackery malts, light honey, light lemonish notes, a delicate grassy presence in both taste and aftertaste. Light to medium sweet and light to medium bitter, in an overall nicely balanced taste. Slightest bitter edge in a semi-dry finish. Light bodied with low to medium, delicate carbonation. Overall a very easy mouthfeel. A well made, easily drinkable, very classic pilsner; perhaps not too bright. Just fell a little short of impressing me.

Update may 2025: head looking less healty, but still very much ok. More vividness in the aroma, aroma/taste notes pretty much confirmed, indeed quite some honey/sweetish contribution for the style but still recognisably a pilsner. No need for changes in rating points.

Gold with a frothy white head. Aroma of lemon peel with strong cereal notes. Dry with a crisp mild bitterness. Medium bodied. Okay 3.1

Wow, apparently never had this before. Clear golden, white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, grassy. Flavour is sweeter than expected, light grainy, malty, grassy, firm bitterness. Light bodied. Nice.

Pours a clear yellow colour and a white head with some retention. Aroma's of malts, fruit, a bit vegetal. Retronasal it's malty, fruity and light bitter. Flavour is light sweet and light bitter. Light bodied. Light moderate bitter finish. Very clean. --- Beer merged from original tick of Bamberger Herren Pils on 27 Apr 2013 at 00:50 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 8.
