Details
It is now officially kicked up a notch, homebrewers. This strong, red-amber, late-hopped, dry-hopped, wheat- and rye-incorporating, highly unorthodox bock was originally a limited edition beer kit from winter 2011; now it’s back with a bit less color, a bit more gravity, and a much more pronounced spicy, oily rye profile. Brew now for springtime delectation!
Just like the first iteration, Sustainor 2 gains grainy goodness, heightened foam stands, rich color, and even a hint of milk-chocolate aromatics from rye and wheat malts of various roast levels. Hop additions of 100% Sterling from boil through secondary fermentation impart a beguiling combination of earthy and spicy aromatics, leaving the imbiber with the impression that in his or her pint the hoppy head of an IPA was grafted onto the sustaining body of a Bavarian springtime bock.
Recommended: 2-stage cold fermentation and yeast starter.

Bought two kits, brewed 10gal batch in early april. recently kegged it - still not quite fully carbonated. Man, this is good beer. I intended a tasting of all the beers I have on tap, but everyone tasted this first and nobody wanted to switch...including me. I WILL brew this again. Very robust flavor for a lager, not over the top, but just this side of it. Don't fear the flavor. (Posted on 5/16/12)Rating - Very tasty Review by Jetmac

I was a little concerned this would have too much bitterness. Not! A very tasty, smooth brew. Not at all what I expected. IMO some coffee overtones(thumbs up). Very good. This won't last long in my keg. (Posted on 4/8/11)Rating
