Purchased at the Battersea Beer Festival, Clapham, Feb. 06.
"BB 07/06/07, 37EBC, 29 EBU." Served lightly chilled in a broad-rimmed goblet.
A: pours a cloudy chestnut colour, coming with creamy and foamy off-white beer head with pretty nice retention.
S: thick and sweet fruity note upfront--very thick marmalade, plum-jam, slightly sharp, sour and "smelly" edge of unprocessed honey, and deep note of caramel malts. After swirling, a refreshing note of hops (a little bit like grassy Saaz as in Czech Pilsners) comes through, but is quickly overwhelmed by the sweet note of malts. Very heavy and sticky.
T: creamy-textured caramel-malts prevail upfront, followed closely by a burned brown-sugary taste and slowly giving way to a quietly intensifying bitter-sweetness from the underlying hoppyness and lingering malts, like licorice-yeasty+lager-malts+corns+boiled red beans... The malt presence on the palate feels much lighter than the aroma, and provides a soothing aftertaste with a little tinge of dryness.
M&D: pretty creamy on the texture due to well-controlled carbonation, the body is not heavy at all for a 6.2%abv. beer. Having tried only lager bocks, especially the German versions, this is the first ale bock I've ever tasted (this one presumably is an ale?!). The palate is much smoother yet less flavoursome than those lager bocks I've tried, and the aftertaste is more soothing as well. But the nose is certainly off-balance and too sweet and thick without being lively. Not a bad beer to start off with for ale bocks, but the overall performance is not that impressive after all.

BB 07-06-06; filled 8 months before. Nice presentation with yellowish good and lasting thick head. Beer is amberbrown and shows quiet some haze. One of the lightest dark bocks I've seen recently. Nose is yeasty, carramellic and litle green of used Spalt hops. Taste is quiet burnt, grass malty, dry and quiet bitter and again with a yeasttaste. Quiet high carbonisation makes the brew fresh and mouthfeel good except the edgy bitternes and yeasttaste. Nice brew overall though, easy drinkable and worthwile seeking out.
