Genessee Bock

This is a great beer. I love rich lagers and have brewed several of them myself. But this one is great.

Upon pouring, it has a great head, but dissapates farily fast (could be because of the glass), it has a rich malty bready aroma that has some light toasty notes. Its color is a deep red, almost black, but has a great clarity that allows that discernment. Upon tasting, the initial carbonic bite is solid, but it smoothens out with a great bready malty rich taste. Very easy drinking, and not sweet. I can tell this is a big beer, and its got a good amount of dextrins to it, but is nowhere near cloying.

This is a great beer. Perfect for a springtime evening, or a fall afternoon. Its nice smooth finish would be great all year round though. I think I'll have another!

8/10
