(swing top bottle) Clear, chest bnut colour with a fluffy off-white foamy head, leaving some lace-work. Sweet, toast-malty aroma with resiny hops and a touch of barnyard. Sweet flavour, medium to full bodied, moderate carbonation. Robust malt-accented taste with caramel and a rather strong alcoholic note in the finish. Aromatic but not perfectly balanced Bock.

bottled, brought back from landbierparadies. opaque ochre with a tiny head; aroma of caramel, stewed prune; i guess because it’s fischer i notice some smokiness; mellow with hints of honey rye and lightly tinny bitterness. decent stuff

Sorry for the german rating, but this is a lousy rating from my "newbie" time (2007-2009), and it’s not worth of being translated. I just added it for the statistics, and to complete my backlog!
Ins Glas ergießt sich ein leuchtend rötlich braunes Bier mit schnell verfliegender Krone. Der Geruch ist süßmalzig, karamellig, lakritz-artig und dezent alkoholisch. Ein wahres Fest für die Sinne, man kann den Antrunk kaum noch erwarten. Dieser fällt dann sehr karamellmalzig aus, zudem spielen andere Aromen im Hintergrund mit, wie Lakritze und Toffee. Schmeckt nahezu wie ein tschechisches Spitzenbier a la Permon oder Hastrman! Dieses Bier demonstriert das perfekte Zusammenspiel von Aromen! Definitiv das beste deutsche Bockbier, das mir bis heute untergekommen ist! Diese Jungs verstehen ihr Brauhandwerk!!!

Swing top bottled 500ml (BZ, BB 06/2012)
Clear dark nut brown color, good off-white head. Bready, caramelly aroma. Medium-bodied. Quite bitter (and alcoholic) bock, caramel, rye bread. Quite flat mouthfeel. Unconventional bock in its bitterness.

It’s dark mahogany-red with a small, creamy head, and the aroma has notes of roasted malt, caramel, fruit and nuts. The flavour is moderately sweet with notes of roasted malt, burnt caramel, alcohol, fruit, nuts and light licorice, and the finish is dry. A really nice one.

0.5 l bottle, thanks hanniku! Dark amber color. The aromas of dark bread, raisins, toffee, nuts, warming alcohol and licorice. Rich flavor with nuts, raisins and warming alcohol. Full body. Rich complex bock, lots of different aromas and flavors in harmony.

A nice sweet dunkler bock. Mine was topped of with rauchbier for whatever reason.

Frisch malziger Antrunk, würziger werdend. Die Malzigkeit, die alleinsteht, breitet sich aus und wird zum Ende hopfig und teilweise bitter. Die Würzigkeit ist angenehm, scheint aber nur oberflächlich zu sein. Dahinter, am Anfang verdeckt, agiert eine zum Ende hin erkennbare Wässrigkeit. Kaum karamellig. Im Nachgeschmack intensiver malzig werdend, röstig. Kein Spitzenprodukt. Danke an wastl für das Bier! 8/9/9/11/9/9

Golden-brown. Some brown molassesy character. Very chewy and toasty with a full blown alcohol and deep sugar finish.

Pretty sure this was a rating from a bottle @ Hutt’n. Dark brown, sort of a mahogany. Is very bready but dry. Slightly soapy in the aroma, oddly, but clean nonetheless. Flavors come across as minty or herbal and yet also fresh and bready. That doesn’t really make sense, but there it is.

500ml bottle - at ChrisO’s - thanks!
6 Classic dunkler bock sweet malty aroma
4 Deep red, small head
7 Very full malts, a touch plasticky, but only to the exctent that you expact, and desire, from a dunkelbock.
4 Soft palate, carbonation low, but the bottle had been opened earlier. Finish is classic germal dunkler bock malts.
