Impression: This wasn’t on the agenda on this given day but a friend was taking me to a communal brewery nearby and we were about 45 minutes early. Scharpf generally brews a Bock for Lent but I hadn’t been able to make it for in previous season. We stopped in for a quick one and I was excited to finally try this Bock from a brewery I generally quite like. It was nicely poured and looked promising but I found it quite unbalanced and far too malt forward, even for a Doppelbock. The finish lacked the dryness I find the best exhibit and surely what I personally look for.
Next beer or back to the beer list.
