Schwanen Bräu Weihnachtsbock
Brewery: Schwanenbräu
Town: Ebermannstadt
Style: Bock
Color: deep golden
Head: white, dissipating
Nose: malty
Body: medium
Palate: rich malt, fruity, some underlying bitterness
Finish: somewhat dry, slightly bitter, unsure
Served: on tap at the brewery
Impression: This was the most disappointing beer of the day. First off, though it was the seasonal, it wasn’t on tap. I did get to pour the bottle and the head disappeared pretty quickly, never a good sign. It wasn’t unpleasant with rich malt and some fruitiness but the finish kind of fizzled out, much like the head and was anything but moreish. Hence my getting a Pils for my last beer.
Next beer or back to the beer list.

I'm an American living in Munich and Bamberg. Why? Well, I came for the beer but stayed for the girl. I'm very happily married to a German woman. Of course, the bonus of great beer certainly doesn't hurt. An avid love of hiking and finding new beers has led me to found Beerwanderers, an information resource on beer hiking trails in Franconia with an emphasis on Franconian food specialties and the endless variety of amazing beer the region is renowned for. I also published my first book Beer Hiking Bavaria which features 50 beer hikes in Bavaria and lead beer hiking experiences for those who love beer & nature. View all posts by beerwanderers
