Big thanks to quack-duck for the bottle! Looks good, the beer in the glass also. Very much foam for a bock. Tastes very strong, but not alcoholic. Modest malty, well balanced finish. A little bit fruity. Really good beer!

Jan 29, 2008 Bügelverschlüßfläschle (kindly provided by Quack-Duck): Hazy, amber coloured, mid-sized, quite stable fluffy off-white head, distinctive sweetish-fruity (berries, raspberries) nose supported by a dusty-grainy and slightly hoppy background; solid sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied; fruity-hoppy and sweet finish. Very tasty and moreish........

Jan 28, 2008 (33cl swing top bottle, courtesy of Quack-Duck) Cloudy, brown colour with a massive light-beige foamy head. Light-sweet, toasty malty nose with red berries and an aromatic, lemony, almost piney hops character. Moderately sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a slightly crispy carbonation. Slightly toasty malty and fruit-accented taste (red berries, raspberries) taste; medium-dry, fruity and malty finish with a well-rounded herbal and a bit piney hoppy blend. Strange to find this one in Germany, cause it is rather uncommon by German standards. Quaffable brew, reminds me of a Sweet Stout (23.01.08).

Nov 10, 2007 bottle. Brown colour, cloudy, persistent head. Aroma of beries and chocolate. Made with stout yeast. Fruity flavour, full-bodied, hints of chocolate, cocoa-powder. The flavour reminds me strongly of a Belgian or Norhern French Brune. The high alcohol volume is well disguised. Very moreish. A delicious winter warmer.

Apr 7, 2005 Bottle. Sweet chocolate malt with strong tannins as well. Dark reddish brown color - slightly cloudy with little head. Sweet chocolate malt balanced with tannic astringent flavor - not overwhelming. A very nice bock.
