Bottle. High creamy and lasting off-white head. Beautiful clear and ruby body. Roasted dand drybarley malt aroma with hay notes.Vineous as well. Flavor of caramel and some spice I cannot quite figure out. Moderaltely carbonated and with a pleasant bitterness. Long aftertaste.

Bottle. Dark amber colour with a tan head. Malty aroma with a note of raisin. Nice malty flavour, slightly vinous. Medium bitterness.

330 ml bottle. Dark copper colour with a reddish hue. Crystal clear. Small white head. Licorice and a bit münchener malt aroma. Not much aroma to speak of. Watery texture and little body. I remember this bees being much maltier and a lot sweeter. Low on the hops. Very disappointing in fact. Will have to try it again next season.

In my opinion this is the best Norwegian dark bock. Powerful malt, but it is well balanced with the hops. My first choice for the creamcakes.

Amber of color with a beige head. An aroma of port and raisins. A nice flavor of plums, raisins and port.

Bottle. Clear amber red color with a average frothy fair lacing mostly lasting off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, caramel. Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a short to average duration, (malt sweet). Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. Simple bock.

Bottle at Chris_O bottlefest 2007. Clear russet/amber colour, beige head. Slightly sticky, some toffee. Slightly sticky. Not bad. Simple bock.

Bottle, 6.5%. Brown colour. Small lightl brown head. OK bready flavour with a hint of malt.
