Borg Bokkøl

Brewed by Hansa Borg Bryggerier
Style: Dunkler Bock
Bergen, Norway

Milk chocolate aroma, thin dark caramel color. Solid creamy body, clay finish.

330ml bottle capped. Dark wheat raisin bread aroma, brown over ripe bananas. Prune, malty cola, caramel with a hint of grape skin and banana bread. Not really my preferred flavor profile, but well made.

12 oz. pours a murky ebony. loose creamy tan head. big brown bread nose with molasses overtones. creamy medium body. sweet brown bread, caramel, and molasses mid palate. long, mild, brown bread finish.

Pours a deep reddish brown with a big, creamy beige head. Aroma is pretty sweet, slightly burnt caramel malts, brown sugar, and some strange tomato purée like tang. Flavour is much the same, pretty sweet, with that odd tomato like tang clearing out the sweetness in the finish. Body is medium, carbonation is pretty creamy. Flavour could be fuller, and I’d like that tomato bit toned down. Might be skunked, clear bottle after all.

16.10.2009, 0,33l Bottle. Dark brown colour with a big pale brown head. Aroma is roasted malty. The beer is sweet and there is a lot of sweetness in the flavour. There is also some bitterness.

Bottled 330ml with the clear glass. THT 10-05-10. With honesty one of the worst beers i’ve ever tasted. It contains one bag of heavy roasted malt and the rest a lot.... i mean A LOT of added sugar. It’s for a reason they put it in a clear glass, it has so many sugar it can’t decline from light! Nice aroma though.

Bottled 330ml. -Bock from clear bottle; funny. Brown coloured, medium sized pale beige head, notes of dark fruits in the nose. Sweet malty, fruity and heavy caramel taste with notes of plum and alcohol. Sticky finish. Again too sweet Bokkøl.

Bottle from Vinmonopolet, Oslo. Dark brown cola body with slight head. Very sweet and malty nose. Taste of caramel, malts and very sweet. Okay in the balance. Better than the Mack bock. Still a bit watery. ABV kicks in at the end.
