SIERRA NEVADA BREWING CO. - 30th Anniversary-Charlie, Fred And Kens Bock   First of three pulled from the cellar. This is a helles bock style beer with a 8.3% ABV from 2010. Still had a loud pop from popping the cork and still produced a nice head when poured. Aroma is really malt forward with a hint of fruitiness and a little honey sweetness. Taste is mostly caramel malts and breadiness. There is almost no hop presence anymore, but it lingers a little. Definitely had some sweetness, but is pretty well balanced. I wasn't really sure how well this would age, as it's typically not a style most people cellar, but I think it aged really well. It was very easy and enjoyable to drink. I would definitely buy another bottle if I ever saw it again.
