500ml can from Costco Advent Calendar (I know, mid-April still with two full advent calendars to clean up) - Deep brown body, not much head. Nose is nutty and malty, taste is a sweet start, bit of dark chocolate, dark fruits, dates and caramel. Really good. Also turns out that Kraftbierwerkstatt Böblingen is my 1000th brewery in my 10 years here. Prost.

Can shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a clear deep brown with a light brown head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of dark bread and a slightly earthy roast with a touch of dark grain underlying. Flavor starts with bread, has slightly earthy dark grains and finishes with roast and a hint of smoke.

Can. Getting a bit old now. Orange-brown with a tall, off-white head. Nose is toast, caramel, orange, bit of chocolate. Sweet, slightly syrupy, toasty, caramel, fruity. Slightly bitter in the finish. A touch oxidized. Not bad, but very sweet and somewhat simple.

Can, from an advent calendar. Pours clear dark amber-copper with a large foamy beige head, roasted malt aroma, high carbonation, initially sweet medium bitter roasted malt taste, smooth thin body, long finish. Very smooth; well crafted.

16oz can. Filtered looking amber-brown body, so not really a Schwarz anything. A pretty enjoyable Dunklet Bock though, smooth and malty. Rich caramel, brown chocolate tone. Clean and streamlined. Enjoyable.

Pours very dark brown with a small light tan head. There’s a roast malt aroma. The flavor is of roast malt, a little coffee, grain, and some light hops bitterness. It works fairly well.

Kalea-Bieradventkalender 5.12.2021 (Hofer-Version) Ein IPA, das mit ordentlich amerikanischen Hopfen eingebraut wurde. In diesem Fall eben der namensgebenden Chinook-Hopfen, benannt nach einem Indianerstamm aus der Gegend. Geschmacklich ist es intensiv grasig-herb, so ist es mir aber einfach zu bitter. Aromatisch ist es schon, aber die Bitterkeit ist mir zu unausgewogen und aggresiv.

Panda at home, thanks to Fergus, 13/12/21. Copper to light brown with an off white cap that settles as a swirl. Nose is nutty, brown breads, spice, herb, biscuit, dried fruit rinds. Taste comprises fruit cake, light spice, toffee, dates, prunes, stewed fruits, biscuit, light spice. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Tasty bock.
