Bottled. Amber colour, rich head. Buttery, lightly malt aroma with "ur-bock-dusty" character. Sweet and very malty, very soft. Dusty hops mixes with fruity sweetness. the softness is so unbelievably perfect. The flavours are interesting, but not in the same league, and the sweetness is somewhat disturbing.

Bottled. Dark golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is sweet malty with some hints of alcohol and butter. Flavour is very sweet malts with some hints of alcohol. A bit too sweet for me...

Hazy amber - tawny colour. The aroma indicates a firm alcoholic bock with lots of caramel malts, light woodiness and a hint of fruit. Fairly fresh malt character, with quite a bit of alcoholic dryness.
