Bügelverschlußflasche mit einem hübschen roten Etikett: Satt goldenes Bier mit einer stabilen beigen Krone; im Aroma sind zuerst süßliche Spuren von Karamell, kombiniert mit einer gewissen Fruchtigkeit, bemerkbar; danach "entdeckt" man eine solide hopfige Note; ziemlich voller süßer und bitterer Geschmack, verbunden mit leichten Spuren von Alkohol, vollmundig; im Abgang ähnliche Aromen. Ein sehr anständiger Bock, besonders wenn man bedenkt, daß er aus dem Gebiet der ehemaligen DDR kommt............. GERMAN BEER #3000 !!!!!

Bottled 50cl. Not my kind of heller bock. Slightly alcoholic. Quite boring and without major qualities.

Swing-top by 30.06.12. Sweet caramel nose with light toffee, body is a flat orange with a rocky tan head. Taste is very much like a caramel candy with some fruity nougat filling, booze is too strong for 6.7%, very crisp full body. Malt body a little too dense, can crack into it, and the lightly bittersweet golden Bock malt depresses me like it’s from my eighth pint.

Bottle. Copper colour with a thin head. Light malty aroma. Flavour is crisp malt with a spicy turn and a light bitter finish. Well balanced and disguises the alcohol well.

Herber, wenig bockbierartiger Antrunk. Die auftretenden malzigen Auszüge sind immernur kurzfritig vorhanden und werden jeweils von eine, bitteren Aroma übertrumpft. Das Bier dümpelt im Mittelteil ohne Ziel einfach vor sich hin bevor im Abgang eine Würzigkeit aufkommt, die etwas Schwung in die Sache bringt. Um wirklich Spannung ins Bier zu bringen reicht dies weiß Gott nicht aus, immerhin bringt diese aber mittelstarke dunkle Malznoten mit sich. Ok. 10/7/9/8/6/7
