On tap at PINT BBF ’11. Clear reddish brown colour, off white head. Aroma of sweet malts, caramel, light chocolate. Flavour is sweet, malty, dark fruits, caramel, light roasted malts, bittersweet malty finish. Medium bodied. Typical German bock imo. Decent.

UPDATED: FEB 19, 2012 Brown bodied and beige head. Raisin, cookie dough and a nice light yeast. A bit underwhelming maybe. Delicious smooth body with rich sweet taste. Excellent mouthfeel. Really underrated. (33cl bottle) (Rating re-indexed)

Deep orange to red colour. Smells wort, alcohol, caramel, coffee. Tastes coffee (lightly) and caramel. Mouthfeel is a bit warming, full body and okay carbo.

Pretty boring beer. Nothing really poor, but nothing good either. Carbonation pretty soft for a 7%ABV, but ok.

Bottle 33 cl from Slijterij van Bergen in Eindhoven (NL). Bock clear, bright amber with thick crackling and large collar coolant glass. Sweet nose of malt, apricot, molassea, vanilla, a little alcohol. Taste sweet and bitter, prickly degassing. Soft of malt coated with toffy and molasses and bitter of resin. Note kernel, almond, roasted-bitter and acidulity by alcohol. The body is average and supple, and the spreading grassy hopped.

resin, brown, hazy, frothy, light sweetness, medium bitterness, lightly sour, paper napkin, light body, slick feel, average carbonation, astringent, long finish,

Bottle. Frothy white good mostly lasting exploding head. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Chocolate and licorice notes. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate.

Lots and lots of foam that’s nicely uneven. Not a big aroma and it’s surprisingly light for a bockbeer (appearance). Won’t win any awards but it’s a decent beer.
