Looks nice, dark brown with red, nice thick head. Not much aroma. Cardboard with a bit of caramel malt, a touch of hops. thoroughly unappetizing. Drab flavor. dark malt, caramel, cardboard. This is crap. A beer for winos in Europe.

Canned. Dark brown, rich head. Sweet, toasty and burnt. Medium-ful bodied with molasses, butter, coffee and salt. Medium bitterness. Boldly flavourful.

This bock poured a dark brown colour with a tan coloured foamy head. A little caramel to the nose along with the scent of coffee and slight burnt hint. First sip is a little syrupy with the flavour of molasass and caramel. Finish is malty with burnt flavours....right through to the palate.

Can (BB 09/2005)
Dark brown-ruby color, creamy brownish head, lace. Roasted malts, coffee and burnt sugar in the aroma. Roasted malty, suprisingly quite thin hiding alcohol well. Slightly bitter, roasted aftertaste. Average, clean bock (dobbelbock?) but not very interesting.

Can: Poured a dark brown beer with a nice above average head with good retention. Aroma is a mix of malt and mild sweetness. Taste was quite nice with some smooth malt and a subtle sweet finish with a good banana taste at the ends. Alcohol is well hidden which is always nice. The thin body and the subtle watery aftertaste was bit of a letdown but overall, I think this was a nice offering from a macro brewers – a bit underrated I feel…
