Das bekannte und geschätzte Bockbier aus dem Hause FORST verdankt seine für diese Sorte einzigartige Karamellnote den besonderen Malzen sowie einem speziellen Herstellungsverfahren. Schon der erste Schluck erfüllt den Gaumen mit Freude, seine dunkle Wärme und die dezente Hopfennote erinnern an den urspründlichen Charakter der Starkbiere und an die traditionelle Braukunst der Klöster.

Etwas schokoladiger Geruch. Cremiger und gleichzeitig sehr süßer Antrunk. Die Süße schwindet im Mittelteil leicht, das Bier wird etwas wässriger. Dabei ist eine röstmalzige Note nicht zu verkennen, sie wird langsam stärker, trotzdem bleibt sie auf einem niedrigen Level. Würziger und lecker malziger Abgang. Test vom 5.11.2007, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 10,10,11,12,9,11 - 10,80

Beautiful deep chestnut to ruby colour; good darker yellow head. Quite some bread, some malt, sugar and dark fruit - but overall VERY sweet smelling. Taste is way much less sweet, again more fruit, fruits on concentrated juice, bit of nuts, coloured malts, but all the same some sugar/restsugars. Very well bodied, bit syrupy - not too much, but served at freezing temperature all the same. Good, if a tad sweet "Doppel"bock - but IMO it’s just a Dark Bock and not a Doppel.

Copper brown, small expresso head. Good caramelly, roasted nose - very typical German dobbelbock aroma. Roasted, licorice, cold coffee and burned caramel. Touch of alcohol in the aftertaste. Just quite thin palate otherwise one of the best (or the best) Italian sampled so far.

A brown beer with a thin light brown head. The aroma is sweet with a distinct nutty character. While the flavor is malty with a roasted character blended with notes of nuts, but I find the body thin inspite of the 6.5% ABV. Thanks Alex (fiulijn) for bringing this to Denmark.

Bottle@Dolomites, Italy. Dark brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is coffee, sweet and quite strong, and the flavour is strong, caramel, sweet, black coffee with a dry finish. Overall a complex and reasonable Italian beer but the flavours are probably too pronounced.

Mahoganey colour with minimal head. Aroma of molasses, toast and brown sugar. Fairly full body with long, toffeeish malt notes and a hint of earthiness imparted by the dark malts. Simple but effective structure, with enough richness to keep me interested.

2009-09-21, draught at Eataly, Bologna, 6-4-7-3-14=34
Dark amber to brown color; small head. Delicate caramel aroma, Medium body strength, with good caramel flavor, compared to the bottle it’s less round and has some more chocolate touch. Correct bitterness; in the end it’s possible to find some residual sugars, also the chocolate is more evident. Solid.
2009-09-18, bottle, 7-4-7-3-14=35
Dark brown color; medium creamy head. Aroma of mildly roasted cereals, and slight oxidisation; caramel. Medium body, strong caramel flavor, dry, with roasted nuts; correct bitterness. The final is more mouthfilling, and round. Not powerful but complex enough, and well brewed.
2003-10-20, bottle, 7-4-7-3-13=34
Dark amber color. Quite strong aroma: malt, unmalted grains, bran, paper, cane sugar. Round mouthfeel, with a strong presence of caramel; some malty sweetness at the end, before the bitter final.
