Deep brown with red hues. Sweet fruity malts, molasses. Flavor is syrupy malt, dark fruit, molasses, barbeque sauce, light spice, and a nice trailing dose of butter. Sweet, buttery finish.

Pour from a 12 oz bottle. Clear dark brew that glowers a deep red when held up to a light. Small head that quickly fades. Aroma of caramel, roadted grain, dark fruit, molassas. Taste is sweet malts with a bit of roast, dark fruit, modest hoppiness blending with the sweet tasts at the finish. Average palate. Good stuff.

pours a rich brown, about the same color as the bottle. tan head fades quickly but lingers on the sides of the glass. 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.

Poured from 12oz bottle, pours a clear dark brown with a thin diminishing tan head, aroma is of dark malt with some roastiness, the flavor is of sweet malt with some caramel, overall pretty light on the mouthfeel, just not for me.

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.

Bottle from Monks Café, Wallingatan. Very dark reddish brown with a smallish head. Strong roasted coffee aroma. Caramel, molasses and coffee flavours. On the sweet side. Touches of originality.

(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.

Pours a dark brown with reddish highlights and a decent white head. The aroma has caramel, bread, and nuts, with a hint of hops. The flavor sweet, with caramel and grassy hops on the finish. Medium bodied at best, with soft carbonation. Not a whole lot to this beer, but not bad I suppose.
