Bottle, danke Roman! Red amber with a bit chill-haze, low offwhite cream. Dry, light oxidized caramel aroma. Medium light body, lightly sour grainy base, tart off-notes, burnt caramel and paper, bitter hops a few half-lifes hence. Well past its prime even though there is some time left till the BB date of this Bock.

Bottle: As black as ink, crowned by the usual small and stable tanned foamy layer, moderate to solid sweet-bitter toasty and nutty nose with the usual fruity, chocolatey and also mildly leathery traces; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, full bodied and quite soft; delicate port- vinous traces in the lingering sweet-bitter chocolatey and nutty finish, followed by a delicate roasty bitterness in the aftertaste. Well made stuff, especially by german Kraft Bier standards...

bottle, kindly donated by pivnizub. Slightly hazy deep golden colour, mid-sized head. Malty base, shy grainy hints, resiny and very slightly fruity hops. Nice.

Bottle: Hazy, deep golden, creamy and stable smaller off-white head, quite robust woody-piney hoppy traces in the bitter-sweet malty-toasty nose; moderate dryish bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied, not overly soft;lingering dryish piney and malty finish. Sigh! Well crafted and well balanced...

Dark amber with a creamy, white head. Grainy aroma. Insecticide. Caramel and berries underneath. Taste is bitter for a bock, somewhat grassy with lots of grain. Not sure about this one—I want to like it but there are definitely some off notes in there. Too hoppy. Lacking my comfortable caramel sweetness for a bock. Medium bodied, balanced carbonation. Oddly drinkable though.

Herb hefig-hopfiger Beginn, der weniger voluminös ausfällt, als es der Geruch andeutet. Feine Karbonisierung, mild fruchtig, die Bitterkeit steigt leicht an, dahinter trockene Röstnoten, wenig Limette. Spritzig, überraschend wenig Weizen, mittellanger, trocken hefig-röstiger Abgang. 7/10/8/9/10/9
