Could not find this one in the listings, so I added it. I called it a Dunkler Bock because the drop down list did not include "Imperial Bock Beer", which this beer claims to be. It appears that this beer is brewed locally (Highlands Ranch, CO, a suburb of Denver), yet the company seems to be part of some national restaurant/brewpub chain. That’s all I can tell you about that. About the beer: It pours a dark copper hue with a slight and quickly diminishing head. The flavor tends toward a German Bock beer, but is a bit on the sweet and syrupy side. The high alcohol content is obvious. All in all, not a bad beer. The price, at $6.99, for a sixer made it worth a try. Probably won’t be trying it again, though.

Draught. Pours clear tawny with a small, fizzy, off-white head, mostly diminishing with good lacing. Aroma is heavy malt (cookie, caramel, nutty), average hops (flowers, perfume), average yeast (dough, leather) with notes of dates, apples, and toffee. Full bodied, sticky texture, average carbonation, and a bitter finish. Average duration, moderate sweetness, acidity, and bitterness.
