Nice dark red color,small off white head that lsted for a short time.Malty sweet aroma with some nice caramel and faint hints of spice,along with something that just seems to be a bit off.Malty sweet taste spiceand light caramel with an after taste that is mostly malty and mildly spiced with a decent amount of alcohol coming through as it goes down.i guess as far as good it's just ok but the price was right at $1.39/bot so that makes it worth while i guess.

Mighty tasty, but having a hard time remembering what we used to say in Namibia when we tossed back a few of these. I do know we threw the empties in Botswana when they weren't looking. Until we foud out they were bringing them back for the deposit. Had I not known where this came from - I never would have known. No, really what I mean is that I think it ranks right up there w/ the bocks I dig from Germany. States that the malt does indeed come from that land of old. So the malt and I suspect hops went from Germany to Namibia, bottle went to Florida (from where I know not) and made its way to Texas. The journey was worth it. Cool graphics much in the German style as well. Yes, I liked it.Thanks Belgie!

bottled 2000, sampled 7/2003 - amber-brown colour, few head, complex aroma of licorice, cherry and smoke, malt, alcohol and tea, the flavour is tart and bitter followed by an explosive aftertaste of caramel, alcohol and malt - nice stuff, thank you, Per !

Brewed according to the reinheitsgebot - a sign of Namibia’s colonial German roots. Deep red color. Alcohol is, unfortunately, noticeable. Somewhat crisp and harsh, yet I like it’s flavor. Far more punch than anything else brewed in Namibia.

Pours a deep red with a decent tan head. Initial aroma of malt is followed by a caramel maltfest flavor. A very rich malty brew true to the bock style.
