Bottle from a shop in Leipzig. Filtered dark brown, moderate head. Nose is lightly nutty, malty, earthy hops. Pretty sweet flavor, lots of malt and brown sugar. Crystal cara. Would need a bit more bitterness to balance it.

Auburn with a frothy head that proves fleeting. Not much of an aroma on this one, a bit dank, brown sugar, some cardboard. Taste is mildly sweet. The hint of genuine brown sugar that lingers on the tongue afterwards is the highlight of an otherwise modest experience.

"Freiberger Bockbier", Flasche von Edeka, Berlin. - Tiefes Kupferrotbraun, klar. - Nase säuerlich-herb und stumpf dunkelmalzig, wenig bockbiertypisch. - Antrunk säuerlich-bitter mit trockenem dunklen Malz, Kakao und schwach ranziger krautiger Hopfenherbe. Milder rezent, vollmundig aber irgendwie eng. Immerhin ist der Alkohol recht gut kaschiert. Im Abgang dunkle Malzbittere und milde krautige Herbe. - Etwas breiter malzig aber wenig bockbiertypisch, mit engen, muffigen Fehlaromen, wie sie typisch für Billigbiere von Großbrauereien sind. Sachsen, Ihr könnt es besser!

Next 0,5 l bottle from my own short trip to the Erzgebirge. Dark copper in the glass, one finger pale beige frothy head. Smells malty. Not a lot. Taste also malty, brown sugar sweetness in the background. Less alcoholic than expected but increasing to the end. Okayyyy ...

Cleanly brewed, has a decent malt caramelly background. A great crisp malty dry beer, hard to do, but done right. Freiberberger dresden
