SZÁ: Na jöjjenek akkor a nagyágyúk. Nem is akármilyen kezdés. Gránitbak. Testes kis serecske. Malátásan édeskés, édeskésen malátás. Starkbier a javából.
KS: STARKBIERZEIT!!! Diós-kávés, szódás, buborékos, kólás. Laza. Akárcsak én.

Sweet and very grassy malt notes to the aroma. a cloudy brown with red at the bottom. First sip is surprisingly thin with some average malt flavor developing later. A slow-developing beer that finishes strong.

Bottle. Murky brown pour with a cream head. Nose and taste of caramel, toffee, and a touch of sweet fruit. Good brew.

Draught for Dane’s going-away party. One liter mug filled with deep, dark red and brown ale, nearly no head. Aromas of fig and plum, dark fruit, and lots of raisin and malty sweetness. The flavor followed suit pretty closely, with raisin and caramel, plum, and some light alcohol. Really pretty drinkable, not particularly heavy. A nice beer. [1032]

Pours a clear red with a minimal head. Smells robustly of malts - nuts, roasty, caramel. Taste is mildly sweet with a little bitterness - very smooth. A refreshing bock.

Bottle. Toffee malt and light astringent alcohol aroma. Cloudy brown color with giant tan head. Lightly sweet chocolate toffee malt and moderately bitter herbal hops flavor. Medium body. Pretty good.

On tap at Tap and Mallet. Pours a hazy amber color with a smooth medium sized beige head that quickly disappears. The aroma was dark fruits, yeast, sweet caramel and light chocolate. The flavor was moderately sweet caramel, yeast, dark fruity and hints of chocolate. It was decent.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
16.9 oz. Bottle from Julio’s. Side –by- side comparison with the “Ice” Granitbock. Deep crimson color with thick fluffy, off white head from an aggressive poor. Malt is the main player here. Malt and toffee nose. Taste starts rich and malty, then dark fruit (mostly raisin). The finish is not sweet at all. A nice grain quality which I enjoy. No date on the bottle, so no way to tell how old it is. A slight port wine quality in the finish. Medium-heavy body. Soft Co2. This goes down easy. Smooth drinker, for sure more of a winter beer. Could weigh you down in warm months. Overall nice and would buy again.
