Amber gold in color with a thin whitish head. Extremely strong and sweet with a wine-like aroma and flavor. Malt, alcohol, caramel, and slight spice.

Bottle from SuperBest Rødovre. Clear golden colour with a small white head. Aroma and flavour of alcohol, malt and sweet sugar.

Pours with a thin fizzy head that quickly disappears, leaving what looks like a big glass of brandy. Aroma is toffee and malt. Taste is sweet and feels very thick, almost like agave nectar. Anyone that thinks this has an alcohol burn needs to drink more hard liquor.

Sörspecialista, Budapest. Opálos, pirosas árnyalattal rendelkező mély arany színe van, ami kevés habot fejleszt, az pedig szinte azonnal el is pezseg. Illata likőrösen alkoholos, nagyon erősen malátás-szénás és kevés aszalt gyümölcsöt is érezni. Íze is nagyon édes az alkoholtól, gyümölcsös likőrösségtől és malátától, nem is beszélve egy nagy adag karamellről. Utóíze alkoholosan csípős és édeskés. Nagyon szirupos teste van, nehezen iható, de a pillanatnyi keserűség és a szénsavasság miatt el lehet vele bánni, de persze a likőr jelzőt sem véletlenül írták az üvegre. Nem rossz, de nem az esetem.

Pours a surprisingly clear gold hue. Aroma of syrup, German malta and honey. Taste is Sweet. And that is the biggest understatement I have ever made while rating beer. On a second sip I begin to distinguish some subtleties of the flavor. Reminds me of celebrator with a cup of sugar added. The finish has notes of cider, but sweet not sour. The alchohol is completely masked save for a slight burning in your stomach a minute after you swallow.

Bottle; pour is fairly clear golden with a modest white head in this glass. The nose is sweet breads, caramel, toffee, and more sweetness. The flavor profile is slightly muted out of the gate, with a fruity, bready malt note followed with caramel, toffee, and brown sugar. Again, merry christmas!

Real sweet nose and alcohol heat. Honey, maple and come citrus liqueur type notes. Copper gold color, clear, no head whatsoever. Medium+ sweetness with caramel, maple and some hints of vanilla. Light bitterness with hints of citrus. Slick and thick mouthfeel. Very sweet attack and a lingering syrupy sweet finish with just a touch of hops to balance. Surprisingly enjoyable for such a boozy and sweet beer. Not to be guzzled but a great fireside sipping beer.

This bock has the characteristic malts but has a very unique sweet/sour combo along with dominant alcohol presence with cranberry notes and med syrup body. The color is a light golden with quick fizzing head
