On tap at the brewpub. A dark, reddish brown beer, clear, with a small beige head. Slightly smoked nose, sweetish and caramel-like, with roasted malt. Sweet, roasted flavor, quite hoppy and bitter, with caramel and malt too. Tiny smoke note in the flavor as well, and there’s also evidence that it’s stronger than most of the other beers from Kalfaret, as there’s some alcohol flavor. Full-bodied, slightly sticky, warming mouthfeel. Fruits, roasted malt, caramel finish with some alcohol. It’s rather unusual with the smoke in a bock, but it was giving the beer a nice twist. Not the typical dunkler bock, but sure nice. (080502)

On tap@the brewery. Very nice, clear, deep ruby red body with a creamy beige head. Aroma has malt and caramel. Flavor is malt, bread, hops, caramel and sweet fruity. Body is smooth, dry and balanced with a fine long finish. This is definitively the best so far from Kalfaret. Looking forward to more of this kind.

Draught at the brewpub. By far their best beer. True to type, sweet and sour, malty, not too heavy. Lovely dark ruby beer.
