Bottle 75cl. Pours a muddy dark brown colour with a normal size head and little carbonation.

Bottle: Pours a clear darker ruby colored beer with a big vast beige/creamy head that changes into a smaller fluffy head. Smell malts, caramel, prunes, nuts, autmn herbs and light hint of toffee. Taste is quite the same with hints of malts, caramel, bitter, metal, autmunal herbs, leaves, toasted malts and barleys. Toasty malty barley bitter aftertaste. Low carbo, soft light spicy mouthfeel, medium to fuller body and a light creamy texture. Good beer. Tasty!

Bottle. Dark brown pour, thin off-white head. Aroma is faint sweet malty sugary grains. Flavor is sweet sugar with quite round spicy edges. Well balanced and smooth. Quite watery though.

Bottle. Aroma is sweet caramel malt, spices. Flavour is caramel like sweetness and malt. It’s aged allright.

It was quite ok, not great. Beige head, amber body. Caramel, dark fruits, raisins. Falvour is a bit caramelized malts. Wouldn’t have guessed this beer ripened for 12 months. There are much better bocks.

courtesy of oh6gdx - cloudy dark brown colour with a little long lasting beige foam; some lacework; shy sweet malty in the nose, hints of cacao and caramel; quite sweet and full-bodied, no bitterness and slightly herbal; long aftertaste of caramel - not terrible

Primär herber Antrunk, angesichts des Alkoholgehalts kommen erstaunlich wenig Aromen hervor. Dabei ist das Bier deutlich zu trocken, was die Aromen hemmt. Kaum süß, im weiteren Verlauf zudem nur sehr dezent malzig, zu wenig. So ist das Bier fast entäuschend laff, was auch der malzige Abgang nicht ändern kann. Hier noch herb, in Teilen wenig alkoholisch und leicht nussig. Naja... Danke an Kiwianer! 8/7/8/8/11/7
