Local LQ just brought in two new ones at least for me.

Trying one of these right now and it's awesome:

Will try one of these tomorrow:

The Torpedo is quite good. Haven't tried the Glissade because bocks aren't really my style, though I guess I should ask how malty sweet it is before I dismiss it entirely.

Mostly the malts. Some hop undertones, somewhat of a sweet cereal grain smell but it's definitely not dominated by sweetness. It has a great finish and isn't overly heavy despite the 6.4 abv. The aromas center around what smells like a lemony hop and pilsner character with true bock strength into the nose.

I may have to pick up some of that brew - bocks are some of my favorite brews.

I suggest you bring a sixer to bbdl's on Sat to share.

I'm bringing the Evan Honey to share, since I haven't heard if bbdl picked up a bottle or not.

I should try and locate that dead nazi in a can for tomorrow.

Oh yeah, I might go.

Got my hands on some Glissade, and discovered it's a maibock. I'm a fan of Rogue's 'Dead Guy Ale', which is the same style, and I like the Sierra Nevada attempt too. The maibocks are more balanced than a traditional bock.

Even better.

Definitely stopping for a sixer of this (or the Rogue offering) tomorrow.

If the price difference is minimal, I still recommend the Rogue brew more. I think it's a better representation of the style, short of a plane ticket to Munich.

Solution: one sixer of each.

Heh, I guess if you've got the dough, that works.

I'm waiting for Schell's Mai Fest to come out. One of my favorites.

I am waiting for bb_dl to slap The Situation at Bootleggers after he orders him a Voltron. Preferably with The Voltron shot glasses, but those will take too much time to get ready. I'll have to live without, I suppose.

I had some over the weekend. It's decent but I actually prefer the Glissade.

Saw some Oberon on the shelves of a local store, think I should take a chance on it next time I'm in there?
