Description
The first documented existence of a brewery on the location of today's Kneitinger at Arnulfsplatz was recorded more than 400 years ago. After many changes of ownership, in 1861 Johann Kneitinger I came into the possession of the brewery via marriage, together with the already existing Sommerkeller at Galgenberg. The skilled master brewer was the first to develop our strong Bockbier, with great success. After his death, his son Johann Kneitinger II refined the beer recipes even more. He also opened the restaurant at Arnulfsplatz, today known as the "mother house". Then, in the third generation, Johann Kneitinger III continued to manage the traditional company together with his wife Sofie. He died in 1975, and Sofie was his sole heir. While she was still living, she founded the "Hans und Sofie Kneitinger-Stiftung" in 1985. She died in 1991 and since then, the foundation has been the owner and operator of the Johann Kneitinger Brewery.

Schöne rotbraune Farbe, voller, röstmalziger Malzbonbongeruch. Der Antrunk ist malzig-vollmundig und schön voluminös. Zum Hauptteil hin wird das Bier noch ein kleines Bisschen intensiver und schön malzig, allerdings finde ich es ein kleines Bisschen zu süß. Zum Nachgeschmack wird es allerdings etwas flacher. Der Nachgeschmack ist trocken-süßlich und nicht mehr so schön lecker und süffig wie der Hauptteil. Allerdings nicht wirklich schlecht, sondern eher etwas langweiliger. Geschmacklich ist der Nachgeschmack mittellang anhaltend und malzig-süßlich, allerdings etwas charakterlos im Vergleich zum Rest.
--> Bis fast zum Schluss ein schönes, süffiges, angenehm malzig-süßliches Bockbier. Der Nachgeschmack ist etwas flacher und fällt leider ziemlich schnell ab. Auf der Zunge bleibt eine malzig-süßliche Note mit einem ganz leicht herben Einschlag. Aber doch etwas zu süß. Leider nur „fast“ gelungen!

Kneitinger Bock, Flasche von Mein-Biershop.de. - Dunkelbraun. - Antrunk typisch dunkler Bock: schweres Röstmalz, Rohrzucker, Brotkruste, Bitterschokolade, Mokka, alles überlagert von schwerer alkoholischer Note. Nicht zu süß - die Röstmalzbittere gleicht die Süße aus, aber es fehlt etwas pikante Säure zum Ausgleich. Sehr zurückhaltender Hopfen. - Ordentlicher Bock, der vom Aroma an einen Doppelbock heranreicht. Für meinen Geschmack könnten Fruchtigkeit und vor allem Hopfen stärker ausgeprägt sein. (5.9.2013: 3,3.) Neuverkostung, 13.6.2024 (Flasche von Hausler, Pentling). - Hier ist eine deutliche Aufwertung fällig. In der kernigen, sehr tiefen aber nirgends fetten Malzigkeit schwingt der Alkohol nur ganz leise mit, und die Hopfung ist zwar aromatisch zurückhaltend aber doch hochwertig und kräftig genug, um den Bock zu erden und ihm Rückgrat zu geben. Ganz vorzüglicher dunkler Bock!

Bottle at GBBF 2012 - London. Pours perfectly clear yellow with a fine, white foam head. Doughy and crispy cereal malts on the nose. Medium sweet flavor with more crisp and doughy pale malts, some white sugar, low bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Crisp finish, clean, lots more doughy malts, white bread. Excellent stuff. Simple and totally drinkable. (August 2012, score: 4.1)

Draft at the brewpub. Pours perfectly clear yellow with a big, fluffy white head. Good floral hop character, with some sugary cereal, faint straw. Light bodied with average carbonation and creamy texture. Sweet finish, again a little sugary, with more cereal and straw. Tasty, if a bit basic. (January 2014, score: 3.5)
