(bottle, 33cl) Clear, ruby brown colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Sweet and robust toasty malty aroma with notes of caramel, candy, a tinge of spicy hops and alcohol. Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a smooth carbonation. Solid malty base, moderately toasted taste with caramel, light crusty notes and herbal accents; the initial malty corpus is drying and slimming out towards the moderately sweet and slightly bitter hoppy finish. Quite rounded and not too fat dark Bock. 21.XI.09

Etwas herber Antrunk, in dem das Malz versucht, sich Gehör zu verschaffen, was aber misslingt. Die bockige Würzigkeit ist in diesem Bier kaum verhanden und gelangt nur durch karamellige Getreidenoten nach außen – diese sind aber wirklich als nebensächlich einzustufen. Weiter mild, zum Ende scheint das milde Getrdie tatsächlich das stärkste Aroma zu sein. Bock? Wo? 8/8/9/9/8/8

Bottle. Beautifull dark red chestnut, golden foam. Spicy and herbal molassis aroma. Sweet base, light apple and citruspeel, coriander. Fitting hop balance and fine sparkly dry mouthfeel disolves the sweetnes. Easy to drink Bock.

Bottle@Home. Sweet but good bock. Full of malts, toffee, lightly hopped, clean, balanced and easy going. Like many German beers underrated.

[bottle] Aroma is slightly grainy, sweet bread crust malt with detectable hops. Appearance is reddish-dark orange under a khaki blanket.
