Picked this up in a mixer 4 pack, primarily because I was interested in trying this particular beer. It poured with a minimal head that disappeared quickly. The overall sensation I got is that this was an old bottle. There was a tinny odour and taste at first. As this beer warmed, it got better, but it is hard to really call it a "Bock". The rye and grain make for a beer that is a little rough around the edges. Not what I expected, and not something I will go out of my way to find again.

Got this one from the LCBO this past summer.
From a bomber into a snifter
APPEARANCE: Pours a two finger, medium looking, creamy white head with good retention. Head fades to a full foam cap. Clear amber orange with minimal levels of carbonation evident. A half wisp remains and leaves lots of nice lacing down the glass. Good looking brew.
SMELL: Caramel, toffee, white bread and some floral hop notes. Medium strength.
TASTE: Malty beginning with bread, caramel and light floral hops. Medium and lingering finish of sweet caramel, toffee flavors, some grainy notes and floral bitterness. Perhaps a touch too grainy for my tastes, but plenty flavorful.
PALATE: Medium-fuller body with medium levels of carbonation. Creamy on the palate, smooth going down and finishes slightly dry. Full and creamy feel. Good stuff here.
OVERALL: This is a solid beer for sure. The grainy qualities are not always up my alley, but for the Maibock style, this is fine effort. Unfortunately the nose is a little less forthcoming than the flavor is, but that’s a minor point of critique. Worth checking out if you’re a fan of the style. Recommended.

Purchased at the LCBO for a goodly $7.00 or so 650ml bottle. Served at 4deg C in a draught glass
A-4.0- Opens well pouring an ok head that lasts a few minutes. Fairly dark gold.
S- 3.75- Lots of malt but lacks anything else save some sugar
T- 3.75- Pretty good malt and rye backbone. Definitely has a rye base as it is very heavy
M- 4.0- Ok and heavy which is what we should have in a rye based beer
O- 3.83- This is what the score should really be... Bring back the old way of scoring
Food Pairing
This ok beer went well with...... BBQ steak with roast vegetables.
Enjoy
