Ammerndorfer Bier Bock

This long-overdue tasting note looks at Ammerndorfer Bier Bock, a bottle of which Michael kindly brought to Brussels one day a few months ago and which was consumed not long after.

The taste first comes across as a bit sweet and, if you believe Bob, "slightly medicinal", but those two elements then blend, so the herbs and caramel marry well.

It may sound strange, but to me it's a bit like an herbal Aufguss you get in a sauna: woody, warm and sharp, yet relaxing and comforting at the same time.
