500 ml can from the Costco German Biergarten Collection. Pours a crystal clear, very dark copper color with a small khaki head and good retention. Decent lacing. Caramel malt aroma. The flavor is more toffee than caramel, with a dark malt finish. Sweet, not bitter. Almost a dessert beer. Very smooth and clean. The 6.7% ABV is invisible. Medium body and light carbonation. Good beer. --- Beer aliased from original tick of St. Marienthaler Klosterbräu Dunkel Bock on 25 Oct 2025 at 21:54 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 8 | Flavor - 8 | Texture - 7 | Overall - 8. Original review text: 16.9 oz. can from the Costco 2025 German Biergarten Collection. Pours a clear, very dark amber color with a thick khaki head and very good retention. Very good lacing too. Dark caramel and toffee aroma. Tangy toffee flavor, with a mellow finish. Slightly sweet, but not as sweet as I expected. The tangy flavor subsides as you drink more. Decent, but not as good as I hoped. The 6.7% ABV is completely invisible. Medium body. Slick, syrupy mouthfeel. Almost no carbonation. Not bitter.
