Bock
Geipel Brewing

Served on Keg at the Beer Nouveau brewery tap at their Octoberfaust Alternative German Beer festival
Pours a clear rusty coloured body with good white
Slightly sweet seaside rock flavour

This brewery was new to me, and a surprise to find a draft beer from a small rural Welsh brewery on sale in Notting Hill.
The below from memory:
L- Rich dark brown, slightly cloudy, poured with a generous tan head.
S- Toasty with malts.
T- Really nice, broad deeper flavour than a regular 'lager'. Zero out of place.
F- Quite punchy, the 6.5% showed itself quite clearly, but it wasn't heavy at all, it went down a treat on a cool and rainy summer's day.
O- Lovely beer, bravo to the brewery, and to the pub too for giving this gem a chance to shine. I'll return to the pub specifically for this pint!


Enjoyed at the Sun in Splendour at 7 Portobello Road, London W11.
