Bottle, 75cl corked, courtesy of fonefan. It pours an unclear, brown body and a small, off-white to beige head. Caramel, alcohol, dried fruits and a herbal touch in the aroma. Hints of licorice. The flavor has a fine blend of caramel, dried fruits and alcohol, some bitterness chimes in towards the end. It’s full-bodied and warming, slightly sticky. Lasting finish with caramel, alcohol and some licorice notes. Well, not in the league with the finest German doppelbocks, but it’s a fine beer anyway. 110319

Bottle @ home. Deep ruby brown colour, creamy beige head. Vinous aroma of dark fruits (plums and raisins), lots of sweetness and malts. Flavour is full, sweet, plums, chocolate and malts. A hint of bitterness in the finish, some alcohol. Really nice bock, although I guess to sweet for some.

From tap. Pours almost clear and golden deep amber with dense off-white head. Mild malty a light caramelish aroma. Smooth spiced flavour with a nice malty note. Dry. Light caramel and with a dry finish. Nice one, yet not too overly done clean.

Draught at Bokbierfestival 2008. Very dark brown colour. Very big beautiful creamy light brown head. The flavour is roasted, quite vinous, creamy. Quite nice, but a bit too vinous for my tastes.

Courtesy of bierkoning, thanks Edo! Dark ruby color, small brownish head. Toasted malty, caramellish aroma - not very strong. Very crisp carbonation. Watery palate. Light caramelly flavor, light toasted malts. Does not feel like 8 %. A bit bland.

Bottled. Deep amberish brown colour with small off-white head. Aroma is mild roasted malts, yeast, and alcohol. Flavour is caramel malts, toffee and mild alcohol. Alcohol gives a burning feeling on the tongue though.
