Bottle, 6.5%. Almost clear amber colour. Small white head. The flavour starts off a little bitter, then turns sourish. The tartness seems to come from a small infection.

Hazy mahogany with a medium off white head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel and floral hops. Flavour was sweet and had roasted malt, caramel and hoppy notes that gave it a bitter and dry finish.

2009 bottle, 7.5%. Vinous rye bread aroma, bit of soy. Clear dark brown colour, hint of red. Very small head, seems white. The flavour is roasted, slightly yeasty, especially in the finish. Vinous touch.

Bottled. A dark amber beer with a thin lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and bread. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, nuts, malt, and some bread, leading to a dry slightly tart finish.

Small yellow head, fast reduced to little rim, fed by well-carbonated, paler foxy-amber beer. Pure smoked ham, beechwood, salty or brine, vineleaves. Sweet-smoked, woodsmoke, (smoked) ham and yet again a tad of saltiness. Beer is unfortunately a bit thin, which enhances its malty sweetness just a bit too much. Again pretty carbonated feel. Very good smoked, if somewhat light in body. Then again, I’m a s*cker for a good Rauchbier...

Shortlived medium yellow head over hazy red-brown beer. Vanillabeans, chocolate, moccha, and alcohol as in brandy. Thankfully no coriander. Chocolate, coffee, fusels, fruity esters and faraway spices, human sweat. Alcoholwarming very obvious, certainly compared to the non-oak aged version. Quite slick, and faintly oily. Warming up, something coriander-y all the same. The oak-aging did it a world of good.

Good, stable dense cream-coloured head over hazy red-brown beer. Vanilla, lightly spicy, some dark malts and molasses. Flavour is more hoppy than the nose, with tobacco, again quite spicy, and I seem to detect coriander, despite its lacking on the ingredients’ list. Medium bodied, quite slick. The spicyness increasing with temperature, it’s not really my thing.

Towering, dense & fine dark beige head over mahogany beer. End of bottle fully yeast-opaque. Faint chocolate, caramel and toffee; dark green leaves. Very dry flavour, wood & cacao powder; faintly spicy, dry leaves flavours. Much drier than comparable Germans Bocks. Bitterness in the finish. Quite carbonated feel, despite being quite slick and rather well-bodied. Good, if unspectacular Dunkler Bock.Earlier Rating: 9/26/2007 Total Score: 3.5 Draught Dark hazy chestnut with red highlights; creamy yellow-amber head. Sweet nose with chocolate notes, as well as faint leafy & earthy accents. Soft roasted bitterness overlying sweeter malts. Again some chocolate flavour, and almonds in the background, even bitter(ish)almonds. Ends sweeter. Milky to creamy texture, well-bodied. Walnut peel in the aftertaste. Ah, not-too-sweet-Bock, with just enough restsweetness to make it convinceable. In case you find it on tap, try by all means.
