The aroma is a little nutty and burnt. Tastes the same as it smells. A little bit syrupy, but hey, that’s bock. An average bock at a good price.

Aroma of caramel/toffee malts and chocolate, approximately the same flavor, plus some starchy hopping. Dark reddish brown color. Mildly heavy, a welter weight for a bock. Drinks well with spicy food.

Bottle. Poured a dark brownish color with a small tan head. Aroma was roasted malts, nuts, and caramel. Flavor was nutty, with caramel and chocolate. Medium body, higher carbonation. A lot better than I thought it would be. Highly drinkable. Kind of thin.

3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
(Bottle, Monk’s Café Sveavägen, Stockholm. Labeled Berghoff Traditional Bock) Dark brown colour with hints of red, frothy beige head. Malty nose with dark bread, dried fruit, raisins and caramel. Malty taste with notes of dark bread, ryvita, caramel, cola, a touch of dried fruit and a spicy finish with moderate bitterness. Medium body, smooth mouthfeel. A certain malt sweetness shines through. A decent and drinkable dark lager, not really exciting though.
