Bottled. A dark amber beer with a thin rim of beige head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel and some alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of bread, caramel, alcohol, a bit of hops, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. Thanks pinball for sharing.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Pinball. Pours a clear amber with a small off-white head. Sweet caramellish aroma, but also a sulphurous. Rich sweet body, loads of caramellish malts, some phenols and a little late hops. Doesn’t appear like a Bock at first, but gets more Bockish as it warms. 290512

Tap at Merrifield location. Pours a dark copper body with a quickly disappearing head. Aroma is slightly sweet, with a hit of caramel, malts, and toffee. Flavor is caramel, malts. Not too bad, with an alcohol content that is masked pretty well.
