DAB Dortmunder Ur-Bock.
8% ABV, Dortmunder Actien Brauerei, Dortmund, Deutschland.
Clear, bright golden hue, slim ivory head.
In the nose: classically clean German lager aroma. Slightly malty / bready notes.
In the mouth: tastes darker than it looks. Still bolder and brighter than the average lager, though I prefer bocks that are darker and richer. The high ABV isn’t hiding itself at all. It’s ringing loud and clear. Medium bodied, but drinkable enough.
I don’t love this, but I am enjoying it. Though I wonder. It’s labeled as a maibock, but its strength is that of a doppelbock. What is it? Just an extra-strength maibock?
