It's Herbstbock time in Austria, so everyone is doing one. I found this one in a large supermarket, along with a display of eight or ten other bocks. Familiar brown half liter bottle with the shield-shaped label featuring a light sketch of a ram behind the words. No ingredient information. Best before 2/17/07, I opened it on 10/23/06.
Pours a clear orangish gold under a 1.5 finger white head that fades fairly quickly but manages to generate a few spots and strings of lace before fading to film and collar. The nose has a definite raspberry hint to it, along with the malt and a bit of dry straw. The mouth is somewhat sticky and quite well carbonated. The taste has some grainy malt, but the main impression is a rather sickly alcohol flavor that tries to masquerade as hops bitterness, but really is closer to sour mash. There is a slight dry bitter tone at the back of the throat at the finish, but it doesn't last, overwhelmed instead by the alcohol. Compared to most Russian strong beers I've had, this is OK. But in Austria, I expect much better. Not sure I'll finish it - but I did. Won't have another, though.
