50 cL bottle, trade with kappldav123. Pours clear and golden brown with a lacing white head. Caramel malt and slight spiced. Flavour is mild breadish and with a nice caramel malt base. Ends caramel sweet and medium bitter and slight spiced.

Bottle, kindly provided by Kappldav. Chocolate, molassis, caramel aroma. Chestnut, low brown head. Sweet brown sugar entry, bisquit and a few herbal notes. Relatively light body - has a Schwarzbier vibe to it, molassis - not too sticky mouthfeel though, light plums retronasal.

Bottle. Clear medium to dark red brown color with a large, frothy, excellent lacing, fully lasting, beige head. Aroma is moderate to light heavy malty, roasted, brown sugar, notes of chocolate. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (160308)

(50cl NRW-bottle, courtesy of Koelschtrinker) Clear, mahogany colour with a big and moderately persistent beige foamy head. Sweet toast-malty aroma, slightly molassy with notes of caramel and sugar beet and a light but also almost Port-like alcoholic touch. Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a smooth and friendly carbonation. Solid dark and toasty malt-character with caramel and residual sweetness; sweet but not sticky malt-accented finish with a very faint bitterness in the background. Nice, but still too sweet for my liking (21.03.08).

I like bockbiers and I was looking forward to this one. Looks great in the glass, dark coloured. Smells and tastes too much malty, this becomes really penetrating. Not a good beer.

dark copper colour, vanishing head. starts with roasted malts and caramel taste. mild. hops comes in the middle and stays until the end. here addited by the roasted malts. a normal drinkable dark bock without accents.

Bottle (thank You, EithCubes!): Chestnut-amber coloured, small lacing tanned head; sweet dark-malty, fruity (berries) and a bit vinous nose; sweet (fruity) flavour, medium bodied, a bit sticky; sweetish, fruity, a bit vinous finish with delicate chocolatey bitterness in the aftertaste. Lacks a bit of bitterness to be really good, but all in all a quite decent Bock.............

Bottle. Dark brown pour, red under light, with a rocky tan head. Smells sweet and fruity, mostly grape. Sweet, sugary, and grapey. Sticky. I’m probably overrating this, not a great bock by any means.
