pivnizub (3826), Porúří, Germany Jan 10, 2007 Flip-top bottle (from Landbierdealer) : Clear, amber coloured, small and stable white head; complex nose: sweet caramelly maltiness and a resinous hoppy touch; medium bodied, well hidden alcohol, robust bitter-sweet flavour; soft MF, low carbonation; lasting bitter-aromatic, sweetish-toasted-malty, nearly a bit fruity finish with a lingering hoppiness in the aftertaste. Very well rounded and balanced Bock, extremely well quaffable. A splendid time is guarenteed for all......
wastl (113), Germany Nov 30, 2007 Bottle. Clear amber colour. Flat carbonation, slightly sweet and malty in the beginning, becomes increasingly bitter towards the end. jeverszeuge (125), Germany 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. bierkoning (4740), La Tropica, Netherlands 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! Bierpapst (18), Vienna, Austria 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. MoritzF (3883), Ruhrpott, Germany Apr 10, 2007 (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.
