Bügelverschlußflasche (purchased at the Brauerei): Deep golden to light amber coloured, a bit unclear, stable, lacy off-white head, juicy bready-malty nose - with a touch of toasted malt - and a good dash of spicy hops; very solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; a tinge of barnyard in the robust hoppy and bready finish. A very pleasant country Bock..........

On tap at the Herrmann’s Keller, Ampferbach: Small foamy layer; robust citrousy, hoppy nose, backed by some sweet-malt; solid bitter, slightly sweetish flavour, light to medium-bodied; a bit lingering bitter-sweet finish. A very decent Kellerbier...........

Huge and tenacious orange-ish, very creamy head, fed by fine but lively carbonation from hazy orange-amber beer with a reddish éclat . Rich nose with the curious combination of dark bread and oranges. Dry, autumn leaves, mossy, sligthtly bready or wholemeal, chicory-like hops for flavours. Finishes slightly meaty, even a bit smoky. Bock at 6.5% ABV, but with a depth few Doppelbocks could equal. Dry aftertaste, still with aromatic, easy bitterness. Where do they get these heavenly malts? It’s absolutely stunning - the proof that Belgian Strong ale or Barley Wine - like depths can be attained by Reinheitsgebot bottom fermenting techniques. ToddA’s favourite, he’s told me. I can see why, thanks, Todd!
