Danke an FaustusI. Hopfig-süßer Antrunk, für eine Doppelbock durchaus mild. Leider ist der Bock durchgängig sehr klebrig und besonders zum Schluss sehr süß, die vorhandene Herbe ist dabei nebensächlich. Trotz der durchgängig präsenten hopfigen Würze ein etwas lasches Bier. Test vom 26.6.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 9,10,10,9,10,10 - 9,75

bottle, thanks to pivnizub. Reddish brown colour, small head. Flavours of roasted malt, wild berries and spicy hops. I liked the hoppiness of the brew, not as sticky-sweet as many Bocks are. There is something Belgian about it. Had I tried this beer without knowing where it was from, I would have said it was from Belgium, as it somehow reminds me of an Abbey Dubbel.

Bottle (bought at the brewery): Straw golden, small and stable white head; intensive hayish and floral hoppy nose, underpinned by some sweet malt; solid bitter-sweet flavour, light to medium bodied, fizzy edges; aromatic floral-hoppy - again - and citrousy hoppy finish, some sweet malt appears in the very end. a very decent Pils - and another proof, that the Haberstumpf beers are really good, when the brewers manage it to keep out these damned infections........

Bottle (purchased at the brewery): cloudy, pale golden, smaller, slowly collapsing white head; sharper estery-fruity (diacetyl ? infection ?) nose with an illusion of malt and a distinctive bitter touch; moderate to strong bitter-sweet flavour with a discreet acidity in the background, light to medium bodied; hoppy-malty finish "disturbed" by a little sourness. Surely a good beer, unfortunately infected. Deserves a second chance.......

Bottle (bought at the brewery): Hazy, golden, small firm, creamy head; fruity-estery and distinctive bitter nose; moderate to stronger bitter-dry flavour, a bit sourish, light- to medium bodied; lingering bitter flavour with signs of infection. Surely a good beer, especially when it is not infected..

(33cl bottle) Clear, reddish amber colour with a medium-sized, slightly tanned foamy head. Sweet, moderately toasted malt aroma, also very nutty (chestnuts) with a fruity note (red berries), a shy touch of hops and a spicy ethereal element. Sweet flavour, nutty toast-malty taste with light notes of caramel and a subtle fruity component; medium bodied; moderately carbonated mouthfeel; sweet and toasty malt-accented finish with balancing hop bitterness. The fruitiness, even though it is subtle, makes the brew somewhat Belgian-like.

(bottle) Hazy, orange colour with a fluffy, moderately persistent, slightly off-white foamy head. Yeasty slightly sweet and fruity (citrus, orange) aroma with a light herbal hoppy blend. Light sweet and faint bitter flavour, yeasty-fruity and soft malty taste with light herbal notes; light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation; medium-dry, yeasty and slightly fruity finish. Although the brew is labelled best before August 2007 a minor infection has already started, a matter of fact that demands a re-rate.
