O’Fallon’s Goat’s Breath Bock Ale is Now Available
October 24, 2007 6:36 pm Beer News, Brewery NewsThis “non-conformist Bock ale” is now available if you look hard enough (though I hear it’s at the Bogey Hills Dierbergs and The Wine & Cheese Place.) I’ll let O’Fallon brewer Dave Johnson describe it:
It is a non-traditional bock brewed with our house Kolsch yeast and fermented cold.It’s brewed with 8 different malts and 2 hops. It’s a deep ruby red with a big malt aroma and flavor.
I had a chance to try it today (right from the bright tank) and that’s a pretty spot on description. It’s got a lovely malt character that’s well balanced with the hops. Not too sweet, with a very clean finish. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.

Hey - I’ve been reading your blog for a little while now - congrats on the great content, and really great design.
I write for HoosierBeerGeek.com. We just did a little interview with Mitch Turner from Schlafly that might be of interest to your readers.
Here’s a link.
Normally I would have emailed this to you, but I’m not seeing an address anywhere. Sorry to spam.

Between this and Schlafly ESB being released this week, it’s a great week to be a beer drinker in St. Louis.

picked up a sixer of the goat’s breath at starr’s on friday. full-bodied, malty flavor, with a strong roasted aroma. a nice addition to the o’fallon family. also, another great mascot to befriend o’fallon’s drunken pun’kin! (they made it up, not me!)
