Description
The Knoblach inn has been in Schammelsdorf since 1880 and it has been brewing there for about this long. Today Michael Knoblach is the resident master brewer. The Knoblachs are deeply rooted in their homeland and maintain good contact with regional suppliers and farmers. They attach great importance to preserving and actively promoting the diversity of the Bamberg region. For this purpose, the raw materials are, as far as possible, bought exclusively from the region. This not only has the advantage of boosting the domestic economy, but is also reflected in the quality. The ingredients couldn't be fresher.

Bottled. An amber beer with a beige head. The aroma is sweet amlty with notes of caramel as well as light notes of hop and alcohol - quite nice. The flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel, medium notes of bread and metal - is the latter the alcohol?

Milder Antrunk, etwas würzig, getreidig, SEHR weich. Im Mittelteil weiter eher mild, angenehm würzig, weich, erfrischend, sehr untypisch für einen Bock. Erst im Abgang wird das Bier kräftiger, das Brauwasser scheint aber auch hier seine Weichheit zu bestätigen und die Malzigkeit stark einzugrenzen. Gute Balance zwischen Süffigkeit und Intensität, getreidig-frtischer Abgang mit erstmals starker und malziger Gewürznote. Ein sehr eigenes Bier und mit Sicherheit der süffigste Bock den ich bisher getrunken habe. Vielen Dank an MoritzF für das Bier! Test vom 20.3.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,11,13,12,12,13 - 12,30

(draught at the brewery tap) Clear, deep golden to amber colour with a mid-sized, slightly off-white foamy head. Slightly sweet, citrus fruity and cara-malty aroma with fruity, slightly peppery and herbal hops. Moderately bitter and sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a pleasant and well-matured mouthfeel. Solid cara-malty, lemon-fruity and slightly bready taste with light herbal accents; bitter, slightly sweet and quite dry finish with well-rounded malty and fruity, slightly spicy hoppy notes. Very quaffable pale Bock Not to be confused with the Heller Bock/Maibock, which is a tad sweeter (10.02.08).
