Impression: I had missed the Bockbieranstich for this beer due to another trip so was glad that they still had some bottles left when I visited. I’d had quite a few beers with my meal and needed to catch a train so took it to bring home. I wish I’d got a few of them as it was excellent, even better than an amazing Weizenbock I’d had while at the brewery.  It poured an unfiltered amber with a frothy thinning head and some spicy dried fruit in the nose. It had a rich malty palate with some apricot notes. The long lingering finish was dry and bittersweet. Needless to say, I’ll try to get up there for the tapping next time.

Next beer or back to the beer list.
