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.

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.

Bottle. Pours a highly carbonated mahogany with a head of off-white. Aroma is malted molasses, with hints of nut and grain. Flavor is uber-sweet molasses malt with touches of Grape Nuts and barley. Nice mouthfeel. Pleasant, approachable beer.

Dark brown color, which is almost opaque. The foam is creamy, but only medium-fine and quickly away again. The smell is malty, with chocolate and caramel. Starts sweet malty with strong body, also pleasant caramel-like and slightly chocolatey. The center part is caramelmalty, the sweetnes increases very much!. The finish is very malty, slightly caramel-like and sweet!

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.

500 ml bottle, BB 24. March 2011, into tulip. Pours dark brown with garnet hue body overlain by rather short lived, completely dissipating beige head. The nose is malts with melanoidin toast-like overtones and faint alcohol. Malty flavor with toasty notes probably derived from usage of malts containing melanoidins, some caramel. The supportive hoppy bitterness is subdued to malty sweetness that lingers but never gets cloying. Somewhat nutty finish. Medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation and quite hard water. Nothing memorable, though.
