Scauca (260), Lovere, Italy Jan 22, 2008 Updated: Mar 5, 2008 Very nice amber with a huge lasting off white head. Subtle but complex aroma of fruits, fresh grounded malt, bread & flowers, such as roses. All of these are carried by a slight ethilic sensation. What amaze me every time I drink a B.I. beer is its smooth and velvety palate, be it a pils or this lovely bock.
cgarvieuk (2547), Edinburgh, Scotland Oct 6, 2008 Bottle at Beer tasting i organised at work ...hazy copper ... bright sherbert hop nose ... sweet fruitness... quitre alot of sweet malts ... quite fruity. MartinT (4377), Montreal, Quebec, Canada Aug 9, 2008 My Bottom Line:
Fruity caramel and herbal hops dwell alongside doughy yeast in this balanced, drinkable and crafty Dunkler Bock.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A creamy head of foam recedes into the copper gown.
-There is no sign of alcohol in the flavor profile.
-The fruitiness is quite complex and could emulate cherries and bananas at times.
-A light wooden hop bitterness follows the toasted and caramel malts.
-The body is rich and satisfying, yet remains quite drinkable.
From the bottle at the brewery restaurant. Thx Giulio! Doppelganger (1206), Oxford, Oxfordshire, England Aug 6, 2008 Bottle, BSF at the GBBF. Hazy burnt amber pour, lots of sticky tan head. Thick garden perfume sort of smell. Grassy hops with an herbal touch, apricots, a bit of toasted good white bread. Chewy toasted grain malt, musky sweetness, brisk herbal hop bitterness. Lots of good flavor and a pleasantly brash sort of beer. sleepylopes (281), New York, USA May 19, 2008 beautiful coper apricot color with a nice head that falls fairly fast. aroma is caramelized malt and sweet proofing dough. totally balanced with a touch of sweetness upfront that gives way to a pleasant finish that is just a touch bitter and malty. the beer lingers long on the palate. BuckeyeSammy (384), New York City, New York, USA May 19, 2008 Beautiful apricot amber, creamy head, nice lacing. nose of sweet malt. Flavor a bit floral, sweet, hints of caramel. Balanced all around. Alcohol completely hidden. Thanks to SleppyLopes on this one.
