Mahr’s Christmas Bock: Beer Review



6% abv
1pt 9fl oz bottle
Mahr’s Brau
Bamberg, Germany
$7.00 in Michigan

The color of the body is harvest gold – an interesting color for a bock beer. It had a nice white head that dissipated quickly and there was no lacing left on the side of the glass.

The aroma is biscuit and a faint touch of sourdough bread. Overall, clean on the nose.

The taste has a grainy wheat style, a touch of sweet biscuit, a dash of salt, some grassy and slight hoppy bitterness. The carbonation level is fine on this bock beer. The aftertaste is clean with no outstanding lingering notes.

Overall, I liked this beer. It is not super special but, a nice tasting beer. But, do you want to pay $7.00 for a nice tasting beer or a super special beer.
