BeerViking (1426) - Lüneburg, Lower Saxony, - NOV 5, 2012
Seems to be exclusive to the Penny Markt supermarket chain for now. The black and grey can design is cool, its contents are a bit cheap and ordinary though. Some cinder toffee on the nose, pours chestnut brown and mostly flat, body is burnt sugar, alcohol, some underlying roast malt, a faint fruitiness in the finish but swamped by bitter burnt sugar flavours. Not actually undrinkable, but not exactly pleasing either.

McTapps (1484) - Ruhrgebiet, GERMANY - MAY 17, 2013
Clear dark brown colour with low head and smooth body. Nose of malt. Taste of strong alcohol, malt, mild hops, barley, hay and torf. Easy to drink but just not really delicious and nice.

MichaelBruch (1482) - Wanne-Eickel, GERMANY - MAY 17, 2013
Ein total simples Bockbier, das nicht mal bockig daherkommt. In der Optik tief im braunen, erinnert der Geschmack an ein etwas stärkeres Dunkles. Am Ende bleibt nur etwas Malz und viel Wässrigkeit in Erinnerung. Im Grunde ein simples Bier, um schnell besoffen zu werden.

TaxiDriver (1394) - Stadland, GERMANY - MAR 29, 2013
Bottle. A malty smell, some bread. The beer has no head, the body is nearly black. A malty taste, light alcoholic, a little bit smoky. The body is medium strong with a flat carbonation, dry and light creamy.

jkbier (59) - Rostock, GERMANY - MAR 16, 2013
Got this from a large Edeka store. Pours dark amber with a flat, tan head. Fruity nose of prunes. Tastes sweet and malty in the beginning with notes of caramel, and turns hoppy in the end. Very well-hidden alcohol, but a bit watery. Not a bad bock but not very exciting either.
