(swing-top-bottle) Clear, amber to copper colour with a rather short but also persistent and slowly lacing off-white foam. Sweet and chewy toast-malty aroma, with caramel, melanoidinic molasses and notes of herbal hops and a faint alcohol. Sweet flavour, full bodied with a mellow mouthfeel. Aromatic, well attenuated slightly roasted malt-character, nutty and minimal-fruity with herbal notes coming along early. Malty, sweet-bitter finish with distinctive herbal hoppy and well-integrated alcoholic notes. Superb, world-class Bock.

Aug 23, 2007 plopp-bottle. dark-red colour, solid head. starts astonishingly dry, nearly bitter. malty tones in the middle, ends up with malt and hops. quite untypically but therefore interesting.

Jun 29, 2007 Swing top bottle. Dark brown color. Cacao, chocolate, toffee and malt in the aroma. Malty sweet flavor with dark chocolate and toffee. So thick you can almost chew on this beer. Low on carbon. Hint of laurel in the aftertaste. I just love this bock!

Apr 23, 2007 flip-top-bottle nearing the best before date: auburn colour, caramelly aroma, full, but not too sweet body, dried fruit (plums) and a roasted, almost smoky note with intense bitterness in the aftertaste.
