From old tasting notes. Deep orange gold color. Huge creamy tan head. Fragrant fruity malt aroma. Tangy malt flavor becomes sour uninspiring. Starts off good but leaves you wanting more.

750ml bottle @Vero Beach Throwdown-pours a thin off white head and brown color. Aroma is sweet caramel, medium malt. Taste is sweet caramel, medium malt, dry secondary earthy hops. OK effervescence. Thanks mgumby10/from dickinsonbeer for sharing.

Who thought a bock could age his gracefully? 750ml shared at BCTC. Brown body with medium strong head. Aroma is very malty, almost old ale like. Lots of chocolate with even a light herbal hints to round off the aged, sweet beer. Full of flavor, yet light and very quaffable.

I never thought I would ever come across this beer, and lo and behold, I find a handful of bottles at edison super saver, from 2001 - I was overjoyed - this beer has held up really well - cloudy ruby pour, with a thick tan head - heavy aroma of caramel, vanilla, cocoa, a hint of cherries and a touch of rum - creamy mouthfeel - the cherries from the aroma come up first, followed by caramel and some heavy malt character - this is followed by a semi-dry cocoa character, and a slight tartness that compliments the lingering cherry flavor - it’s a damn shame they don’t make this anymore.

2003 bottle thanks to JCW!! Pours with an absolutely incredible amount of foamy beige head which is very long lasting. Medium-dark olive brown color with some orange hues and an almost purple tone to it. Murky and bottle conditioned. Aroma has a ton of unmalted roasted barley in it which provides a huge dose of vinousness and rich barley flavor. Notes of plums, figs and grapes. Flavor. Wow, this is a day-after beer if I’ve ever had one. What I mean is that it becomes a much better beer after it has been opened and allowed to sit out overnight, at least in my experience. Right when opened, it is so highly carbonated that the carbonation disrupts the body and does not allow the oily, rich, cohesive body to be appreciated. After it has mellowed, however, this beer is divine. Copious amounts of barley give it a very vinous flavor; tons of rich barley notes, concord grapes and bocky wininess. Starts out with a dry, earthy, dusty yeastiness and progresses in to the rich roasted barley body, which is lightly sweet and has a dose of bitter noble hops. The hops impart flavor moreso than bitterness, but the beer is not overly sweet to begin with so it needs little balancing bitterness. Transitions in to a smooth dark chocolate flavor and finally finishes with a strong dose of bocky wininess. Caramel malt lingers lightly in the background throughout. Fantastic dunkel, and I’m very appreciative of John for sending this. I will certainly be buying this when it comes out next Spring.

This seems to be a Dunkel, and not a bock or doppelbock, as the description claims. Caramely, roasted aroma lifts from the dark brown, tan-headed body. Flavor is a rich medley of rich, sweet caramely malts that subsides to roasted bitter notes and a dry finish. A very well-done dunkel, or, a very well-done atypical bock.

Dark nut brown. Big toffee aroma. Full bodied with crysral malt profile. Nicely well hopped, but still malt accented. A warming, robust and delicious beer.

Loved this dark lager. Very rich and complex. Fans of serious dark lagers will want to hunt down any bottles they may have left.

This is perhaps one of the best beers I've ever tried, and certainly the best new beer I've discovered in a long time. Not quite a doppelbock in strength, but close. Malty sweet with a nice bitterness, with a warming sweet aftertaste. It comes bottle-conditioned in big 765mL bottles. This beer is so drinkable that I quaffed an entire one of these bottles within 20 minutes without any effort whatsoever. Seek out this beer!
