Dec 28, 2007 Poured from the familiar squat 12 oz bottle, this smooth, sweet elixer is an exceptional dark bock that, again, is undeserving of its 84 percentile rating on this site.
I believe it loses points because it has a low hops presense.
Read the definition of what a Dunkler Bock is supposed to be!
sweet, malty, nutty, and low carbination allow this to be an extremely quaffable beer!

Dec 26, 2007 Bottle. Lives up to its name in appearance and aroma. Dark, without much of a head. Malty, almost molasses, aroma, without much evident hops. Thick, with a caramel, molasses flavor that almost sticks to the tongue. Too sweet.

Dec 18, 2007 Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours almost black with a yellowish tan head and a weak aroma of smoke and caramel. Aroma is a bit sweet with lots of roasted malts and caramel. Tastes more like a Porter than a Dunkler Bock. Finish is really short, both hoppy and metallic, unfortunately I didn’t like this one that much

Dec 4, 2007 I opened this when I thought New England was finally going to lose a game last night. But they pulled it out again. I had cellared this one since spring and I think it helped mellow the beer. Pours dark black/brown with a frothy tan head. It has a sweet malty aroma and flavor. Palate is medium/light, a bit of sharp carbonation, and lightly sweet. Fairly balanced light flavor with a mild bitter hops bite at the end..

Nov 6, 2007 12oz. bottle. Pours a dark copper color with a thin tan head that laces well. Aroma is of sweet fruit and roasted malts. Flavor is of raisins, roasted malts and hint of cinnamon. Mouthfeel is smooth and velvet-like. A very good purchase.

Nov 3, 2007 Creamy medium lasting light brown head. Dark brown, almost black colour. Aroma is malty with roasty, coffe and nuts notes. Flavor is malty too with a strong roasty accent and a chocolate beginning then candy tones, ending in a initially malty (dark fruits) and then balanced, slightly roasty finish. Light to medium bodied.
