“Dremel Bockbier“, 6,9 %, Flasche (50 cl). - Der berühmte Bock vom Dremel endlich in der Flasche - natürlich bei Hopfen & Malz im Wedding! - Dunkles Rotbraun, trüb; üppiger Schaum. - In der Nase feines Toastmalz, weiche Hefe und appetitliche Frucht (Kirsche). - Antrunk weich toastmalzig mit leichtem Röstmalz, milder Kirsche, Brotkruste, Kaffee, Milchschokolade und dezenter Malzsüße. Fülliger, tiefer Malzkörper, reich an Melanoidinen. Der Hopfeneinsatz ist sparsam aber gediegen mit mildem Kräutertee. Mild rezent, vollmundig aber nicht schwer. Der Alkohol ist sehr dezent. Im Abgang nur verhalten malzbitter, immer noch fruchtig aber wenig hopfenherb. - Eigenwilliger aber unerwartet guter Bock.

Draught @ Dremel, Wattendorf. Pours cloudy yellow with a small white head and lacings. Good malts, crackers and grass with a slight lemony twist. Dry and crisp. Some vague unclean yeasty hints that disturbs more and more as the beers warms. What a shame. Still quite drinkable however. Soft and quaffing.

Gravity keg at the Goldener Adler in Muersbach-Germany, based on Manuele advise who "whispered" a new possible recipe. The guy who poured, upon my question, presented it as a Keller-Bock which sounded quite strange to me...anyway. Pours a very bright and unfiltered brownish-orange color, with a medium off-white cap. Nose: roasted malts, well-hidden caramel notes and after getting warmer a bit of spirit-like alcohol warming feel. Mouth: nutty, soft body, again roasted malts. Low-medium carbonation and a very pleasant nice end. It talks to a dunkel but apparently is just a "vintage" Franconian Keller. Tasty!

Bottle from a REWE in Bamberg. Copper coloured, with a slight, white, head and touch of carbonation. Sweet, brown sugar and berry fruit aroma. Flavour was similar with some toastiness in the finish. Fine.
