And the judges were not to impresses with the Doppebock and the Dunkel. This is the Dunkel that Ray raved about at Glib's party. It was considered to dry for the style. The Bock was just considered run-of the mill. Both beers got around 30 points out of the 50. They actually liked the warmth (hint of higher alcohols) in the Bock. And this is one thing I definitely want to subdue even further. I think a well brewed Bock should not show significant higher alcohols.
Now I really have to go to Germany and load up my memory with the taste of these beer styles.
I guess I'll keep tuning the beers to match the taste that I have in mind and occasionally enter a competition. Maybe they do well maybe they don't. But what I really would love to do, is entering in a German homebrew competition. I think that this would give me the most valuable feedback.
