Malty caramel chocolate aroma.Dark chestnut appearance with good sized head. Mellow sweet chocolate malt flavor with mild hoppiness and a thickish mouthfeel. with spritzy carbonation. Hides its alcohol well. One of the best bock beers i have tried.

Bottle. Dark, cloudy brass, medium decaying head. Very, very sweet brown sugar nose, with molasses, sweet grape juice and Mountain Dew in evidence. Very sweet and sugary on the tongue, little acid and little hops...clean, dry finish keeps it from cloying too much.

BB 7/03. Hazy orange red sunset with a thick, but quickly diminishing, tan head. Malty nose full of biscuits, baked bread, caramel, raisin and a little whole grain. The body is nice, but a little thin. The flavor is full and malty with the breads truly dominating. Not really as sweet as I would have thought, which is nice. The addition of more hops would balance this out and make it more enjoyable. Good for a Namibian beer, average for what I normally drink.

Pours clear ruby amber with a large dark beige head. OK retention too. Lovely malty toffee aroma, with a bit of chocolate there as well. Fairly thin mouthfeel, though smooth, not too watery. Sweet start with a very well balanced mid and finish. Lovely malty aftertaste lingers. Touch of alcohol there too. Suprising!

BeanDip is the rater that hooked a brother up with a nonnative brew, And You Rock, or Dip!
Pours a magnificent gleaming mahogany body with a tower of caramel insulating foam above. The nose is HEAVY with molasses, honeycomb, grains, caramel, - smells like a mead!? The flavor is ALL MALT. Very sweet a bit peppery, with big suggestions of plum and date, Very tasty! The palate is more thin than expected but overall this brew has a pleasant mouth feel and a warming finish…….. Me Likey!

This is a fine German Bock...brewed in Africa. My bottle indicates 7%. Quite good, as good as most Bocks I've had.

My bottle says 7% ABV. Pours a dark amber clear under a large lasting beige head. Real plesant chunky golden syrup honey malt aroma. Quite a thin body. Typical low to non-existant hops, medium sweetness full malty flavoured. ABV comes through nicely as it warms. Pretty nice really or maybe I've been rating too many bad beers lately

This one couldn't wait to get out of the bottle. Burgundy colour with a short lasting head. Caramel malt flavour with a touch of overripe red apple and the alcohol shows itself slightly. Overall not a bad beer but maybe a little bit sweet for me.
