Bottle from Beer advent calendar. Pours reddish. Aroma is uninteresting. Tastes sweet with hints of alcohol. Next? Oh, and electricity is out. Time to go to sleep.

Pours clear dark coppery brown, topped with thin and nonlasting beige head. Mild malty nose with biscuits. Sweeter malty start with gentle bittery touch. Slight warming alcohol. Light body. Not bad but nothing special.

Many thanks to Erzengel for sharing! A clear dark golden beer with a mid-sized most good lasting off-white head. Aroma of medium sweet malt, grainy malt, ripe fruits. Taste of strong grainy malt, strong pale fruits, grains, mild sweetness, average..

Smooth fresh beginning. Round and smooth, mild grainy, hints of caramelly malt. Not too deep, typical Festbock with not too much depth.

0.33l bottle from rewe in lörrach. pours a clear golden with a small head. aroma of candy, flowers, perfume, belgian yeast. flavour of candy, peaches, pears, honey. this is actually a blond ale, not sure why did they call it a bock.

33cl bottle from a trade with Sebilinz, thanks! A clear golden beer with a huge most good lasting white head. Medium sweet grainy malty aroma, mild grassy hops. Taste of medium sweet pale malt, some grainy malt, mild bitter grassy hops.

Thnx to Stefan ! Pours light amber, or darker golden. Rather clear. Small, medium-fluffy and rather stable white head. Smell is very, very unintense. For those that really seek , some crisp, toasty character can be found. Even some metallic notes, although the lack of complexity might present me things that aren’t really there. Taste is decently full though, in contradiction to the taste. Some maltyness ( rich, medium toastyness, as well as a rather buttery sticky sweet undertone. Still get a metallic note that makes the beer taste a bit ’off’ if combined with all the other things. Not sure if an actual off flavor, or just a clash of tastes I can’t really enjoy. very low amount of bitterness. Not much in the retronasal aspect. Aftertaste is really weak, I do have some buttery and metallic notes. Not sure if this one had dyacethyl, or the butteryness is malt-driven, but the end result makes it a beer I didn’t really seem to enjoy. Still happy to have tried it though, as it makes me a bit more familiar with a style I don’t really have much experience in just yet. Agreeable body and carbonation for the ABV

25-12-16 // bottle shared at home. Clear amber brown beer, almost no head. Very malty, light caramel, sweet, smooth. Light bitter. Decent.

Bottle, slightly over date. Pours clear yellow with a medium shortlived head. Buttery, grassy and slightly metallic aroma. Body is light to medium with an oily texture, too much metal though. Meh.
