I can’t believe there was a dunkler bock hidden underneath my nose this while time. I’ve been looking for a while, all while knowing this beer was available here at Brouwers Cafe. 22 Oz bottle poured. Pours black with a full cloud cover of thick tan head and lacing. Very nice dry flavor with some graham gracker, and sweet vanilla. Thick body, and very flavorful for a beer with the word lager on the label. A ton of spice. So glad to try this. Well done.

Opaque black beer. Good light brown head. The head is creamy with a little smoky malt. Soft palate - light and fluffy. Creamy dark malt. Whisper of roast. A little lactose sweetness. Soft finish has a little hop bitterness. Comes over as a sumptuous porter. Nice.

22 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled May 2010. Pours crystal clear very dark brown color with a nice 2 finger dense dark khaki head with great retention that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Some nice spotty lacing on the glass. Aromas of big caramel, roasted malt, toasted biscuit, molasses, chocolate, light coffee, earthy hops, and a touch of dark fruits. Very nice aromas with good strength and complexity. Taste of chocolate, caramel, roasted malt, toasted biscuit, molasses, nuttiness, coffee, dark fruit, earthy hops, and herbal spiciness. Fair amount of spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, roasted malt, chocolate, coffee, and herbal hops on the finish for a good bit. Very nice and lush malt balance with the hop bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very creamy and slightly slick mouthfeel. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed at all on the finish. Overall this is a highly excellent black lager from Avery. Great flavor balance and complexity; and very smooth to drink for the alcohol level.

(Bottle) Very dark brown colour, almost black, with hints of ruby when seen through light. Rocky beige head, leaving traces of lacing. Malty, roasted nose with chocolate, dark rye bread, coffee, caramel, dried fruit and a touch of blueberries. Malty, roasted taste with notes of black coffee, cocoa, dark rye bread, raisins, soy sauce and a generous piney bitterness in the finish. Almost full body, viscous mouthfeel. A certain malt sweetness shining through. Quite tasty and very nice.

bottle - Dunkler Bock, RB? Really? Huh. I think schwarzbier is a much better fit, but okay. The category isn’t really that important for this unusual brew. It pours black with a lasting tan head that laces well. The aroma is of roast malt with notes of pine and citrus hops. The flavor includes well hopped bitterness and full bodied roast malt with roast and hop tastes lingering in the finish. Well done!

Opaque brown-black. Thin, steady, rusty beige head. Brown sugar, maybe some pungent dark fruit. Quite unique, really maintains it’s Schwarziness even with the big ABV. World Class, approaching smoky. Smooth and very drinkable. Chalky chocolate tones. Awesome.

22 oz bottle purchased at Lukas in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is an opaque block brown, with a nicely formed one inch khaki head. The aroma is dark cocoa nibs, mild roast and small light char. Also present is a pleasant, mild vegetable element in the back. Pretty subdued nose, but nicely so. The taste is initially a bright sweet cocoa earthy pine thing that is a bit hard to describe, moving quickly to the roast malt, and finishing dry and chalky with a mineral taste. The finish is really crisp. As the beer warms, the green vegetable of the hops comes out more. The palate is medium bodied, starts off by coating the mouth a bit, then dries out with the roast. The carbonation level is also pretty high, helping it to further dry out. Interesting mouth feel. I would have expected to pick up on the alcohol a bit, but its well integrated. Nice one.
