500ml Flasche. Ins Glas ergießt sich ein dunkelbraunes Bier mit schöner beigen Schaumkrone. Geruch röstmalzig, erdig, leicht schokoladig. Geschmack röstmalzig, fruchtig süß, Karamell, leicht schokoladig.

(bottle) Clear, ruby brown colour with a beige and big foamy head. Earthy toast-malty aroma with notes of caramel and hints of chocolate. Moderately sweet flavour, medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Dark malty, moderately toasted taste with notes of caramel and subtle fruity notes; sweet and delicately bitter finish with traces of chocolate. Decent, but not world-shaking Bock. 30.I.14

Malziger Antrunk mit geringer Herbe. Würzig, leichte Oxidation. Schokoladennoten, ölig, etwas röstig und karamellig. 8/10/10/10/9/9

bottle, thanks wastl! Deep brown colour, large and creamy beige head. Caramel, roasetd malts, dark fruit - combined with a smooth and velvety palate this makes a highly enjoyable example of the style.

Bottle looks really good. Beer in the glass quite zippy, nice head. Starts strong-malty, not too roasty, fine notes of dried fruits. Finish very well balanced, not alcoholic, warming malty. Nice bock!

50cl swingtop - hazy reddish brown with a creamy head - nose of sugar, raisin, cherry, caramel, light acidity - upon the first sip, there are obvious signs of infection, which must be where the acidity in the nose comes from - light sourness and acidity partially washes out the flavors of what might be a halfway decent bock - some caramel, date, raisin, cinnamon - but the infection has taken hold too much, leaving these notes merely an afterthought on the palate - might be decent if fresh, but these bottles apparently don’t travel well.
