Red Velvet
Baderbräu Brewing Company

 

 

 

 

I bought this beer off the Binny's single shelf. It poured a murky amber with white head that is not leaving much lace. The scent had some caramel malt hints. The taste was nicely balanced and easy to drink. There is caramel presence through the drink. The mouthfeel is medium in body with creamy appeal and good carbonation. Overall it's a solid amber.

 

This is now my 7th from Baderbrau and I have Had over half of their beers listed on BA.
So, it is as if I don't need to go to their taproom... despite passing it on the Elevated twice a month.

Red Velvet from a can.
It Looks like a normal Bock, although I didn't pour hard enough to get the suds others got.
A faint Smell to me: clearly malty and sweetish and some hop balance.
Taste is its strength. Pleasant malts. Just a complete and balanced Mouth.
Of the 7 beers I've Had, this may be Baderbrau's best.

I enjoyed this unique tasting bock from Baderbrau. The branding and can art/description pegs this as a dessert style beer which in some ways makes sense. Overall I got the sense that the caramel (and somehow chocolate tasting) malt backend was really ramped up here with only a feint hopping. There is a chewiness and slick feel here that sticks with the after dinner type effect. Despite this I found it less than daunting to take down a few cans. Very decent

Can pours a tawny reddish brown, with a fluffy head of foam and concentric rings of lacing.
Toasty malt aroma, somewhat dry and faint. Smooth and creamy with a toasty malt taste.
Finishes dry and clean, easy drinking and on the lighter side of medium bodied.
Overall this is a pretty nice bock that's dry with a nutty toasty malt flavor.

 

 

From BeerAdvocate Magazine #87 (Apr 2014):

Malty, Toasty, Bread, Thick

Don’t confuse this for a Red Ale as Baderbrau went a little new with an old style, a German Bock with a bit more hop character than usual. A whole lot of depth in the malt bomb, balanced with overtones of dark bread and a brown malt sweetness that lingers. Red Velvet certainly sets itself apart from the rest.

Am I the only one hoping for a red velvet cupcake-flavored beer? Either way, this stuff pours a dark ruby topped by a finger of khaki foam. The nose comprises rich caramel, candied orange peel, a hint of cocoa powder, and graham cracker. The taste brings in more of the same, the candied orange peel taking a stronger role here. The body is a light medium, with a light moderate carbonation and a smooth feel. Overall, a nice, tasty bock, probably the best Baderbräu offers.

Delicious beer in the bock and marzen families. Enjoying a bottle poured in a pint glass. Taste smooth but thick in a good way. Nice carmel and malt flavor with a creamy red ale finish. Very easy to drink. Will drink this seasonal again. great value at $7.99 a sixer.
