(bottle) Clear, deep golden colour to copper with a medium-sized and off-white foamy head. Bready malty aroma with notes of caramel, subtle fruity accents and a whiff of herbal hops. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a soft carbonation. Bready malt character with caramel and herbal hoppy accents, leading into a moderately dry and mildly herbal hoppy finish with notes of caramel in the aftertaste. Decent. 24.VII.16

bottle, díky pane doktore! Golden with a small white head. Smooth and velvety from the start. Full-bodied malty flavours dominate, not too sweet, with some resiny-grassy hops.

(bottle) Slightly hazy, deep golden to light-amber colour with a medium-sized and slightly off-white frothy head. Fruit-accented aroma with notes of stonefruits, apricot, peach, accompanied by biscuity sweet malt. Moderately sweet and slightly bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Mildly bready malty taste with notes of spelt, cautious fruity accents and present herbal hops, lingering into the bitter-sweet and spelty finish. 10.VII.16

Fläschla: Light chestnut-amber coloured, almost cloudy, loose and medium-sized "dirty" white head; mild to moderate sourish-sweetish grainy-bready nose, some well hidden bitterness hardly detectable, shy yeasty aromas underneath; moderate sweet-sourish flavour, almost medium bodied, quite soft; slightly lingering sourish and sweetish grainy finish. Yes. Not exciting, but very well drinkable...

Bottle: Clear, copper coloured, quickly collapsing small off-white head; sweetish grainy-dusty nose, herbal hops are very well hidden; mild to moderate sweet-bitter flavour, pretty light bodied for a beer of 6.5%, not so soft; slightly lingering grainy and herbal-hoppy finish. Disappointing...

Bottle thanks to ErlangerNick. Prost. I guess this is the Marzen as this is labelled. Clear Brown amber colour lasting beige head. Some hop on the aroma. Some bread. Some orange fruit and seeetish fruit. Very good in the mouth my kind of beer. Toffee but dry and good peppery hop. Excellent

Bottle bought @ Landbierparadies. Labeled only with bockbier but I think this is the right one. Pours clear Amber with a very small frothy beige head that doesn’t leave much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is malty and floral with dark bread, caramel, hay, moist soil, raisins and subtle hints of alcohol. Taste is sweet, bitter, malty, floral and tiny metallic. Mouthfeel is soft, round, very tiny watery and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and bitter with dark bread, caramel, toffee, hay, moist soil, minerals and hits of alcohol and iron. Solid malt backbone but a bit light and brought down with some iron in the taste. --- Beer merged from original tick of Hetzelsdorfer Weihnachtsbock on 26 Dec 2015 at 22:04 - Score: 6. Original review text: Jansson, köttbullar, gravlax, sill och så klart BOCK!! Solid malt backbone but a bit thin and metallic.

Pours an amber colour with a big foamy white head. The aroma is malt, mild hops and spices.

Pours a clear yellow color. Aroma is grassy and light straw. Grassy and toasted malty. Grassy finish.

Donkergeel bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is licht zoet en licht bitter, caramel en noot. Blijft redelijk lang hangen.
