Our first ever beer competition was a success, however my abilities to embed the pdf files of the results was not. To our surprise, the judges scored 11 O'Clock Bock (34.5) higher than Rock Chalk Weizenbock (31). Highest possible score is 50, and we learned that honorable mention scored a 39. Lots of good and accurate comments from the judges. Rock Chalk Weizenbock seemed to suffer from the addition of clove infused scotch. Apparently, although Weizenbocks are suppose to have a slight clove aroma from the type of yeast used, accenting the clove flavor is not desirable. Rock Chalk also was only keg conditioned for 4 days prior to bottling, and could have benefited from addition conditioning. It was amazing how much detail and accuracy was contained the comments.
Beside drinking nearly free beer ($5 for a St. Arnold's pint glass with free refills all day long), the Whole Hog Brewery members racked up the raffle prizes. We won many glassware, used homebrewing items such as airlocks and bottle capper, a Sapporo hat, a Samuel Adams bar towel, and best of all...an inflatable Warstiener intertube for floating down the Guadalupe.
