Bottle at he Wasana’s Winter Beer Tasting 2012! Thanks a lot, Bierkrug!!!
In the glass the beer is black, ruby red, with brown-yellow foam. Smells malty sweet, intense roasty and caramel-sugary. Slightly liqueur-like. Starts with lots of sweet malts, slightly alcoholic, strong aroma of caramelized sugar. Very intense aroma of roasted malts, caramel and toffee. Goes into a sugary-sweet finish, light burning in the throat. Absolutely brilliant beer!

500 ml flip-top bottle at Wasana’s Winter Beer Tasting 2012, Idar-Oberstein, Germany. Pours a dark black that forms a tan very small just covering the blackness sheen. Aroma is candied malt, stones, caramel and alcohol. Taste is strong malt, alcohol, cereal and grains. Palate is bitter and lasting. Good but not as good as all of the hype.

Please standby for a real rating. I’m actually enjoying the company of other beer enthusiasts instead of being a non-social "I must rate this right now!!!"

the king of bocks! holy moses this was sweet! sampled at the source, amazingly sticky sweet, not so carbonated. Very old school candy aroma, some herbs and malts. Brown with a small head. Very high on sweetness, heavy palate and overall a fantastic brew and at that moment on a Heidelberg night, this was pure heaven!
