Drinking this beer reminds me of the Standells song, “Dirty Water,” “Oh I love that dirty water…” featuring the fabulous line, “I’d like to say time for my baby to walk around…” anyway, this IS like drinking muddy water, as the golden brown color is very cloudy and dirty looking, with a malty perfumed aroma, a beer that by all accounts is subtle and complex, slightly sweet, slightly fruity, perhaps a dried fruit, like apple, raisin or prune, a unique bock flavor which I liked better initially, but not so much with each successive sip, ends with a kind of dry coffee finish.

Drak brown with a creamy head. Full in the mouth with some good chocolate flavour.

Nice darker brown color, sparkling beer. Refreshing taste with hops clearly present, some fruits far away. Good seasonal beer.

Bottle courtesy of Ekstedt shared @ Ekstedts bock-tasting. Pours mahogany brown with a brownish white head that quickly dissipates while leaving some trace and lacing on the glass. Smell is sweet with bread, golden syrup, vanilla, cookie dough, wood and hints of banana bread. Taste is sweet and tiny sour with yeasty bread, cloves, coriander seed, phenols, esters, wood, nuts and hints of banana, prunes and dates. Mouthfeel is slightly sticky sweet, round and medium bodied. Finish is sweet and tiny bitter with bread, nuts and hints of alcohol.

Aroma heeft iets zuurs en ranzig, ook wat van roggebrood, niet echt een lokkertje. Doch het hapt heerlijk weg, romig, en de smaak is beter dan dat het ruikt. Nasmaak is zoetig en hartigs, smaak is licht kruidig met zoete tonen.

Bottle. Gushed a bit. Clear dark amber with an off white head. Aroma of dried fruits, caramel, hints of spices. Creamy mouthfeel. Rich mouthfeel is lightened by creamy texture and light carbonation. Taste has caramel, some chocolate and lots of stewed and dried fruits. There’s a little plummy sourness too. Spicy bitterness seems meek at first but builds in a long finish. Very agreeable, balanced and alive.

Very dark brown, a nice sized and holding head. Malty, spiced, hops. Nicely dark fruits and caramel. Decent.
