Fairly standard bock, nice edge of sour cherries, but nothing adventourous here. A bit short finish.
By no means bad. But it doesn’t tingle down your spine, either! Frovigalning (472), , Sweden

It had a malty smell with some caramell.
The mouthfeel was smooth and it had a medium body and low bitterness. It tasted of chocolate, malt, caramell and also sweet with some sugar. This was pretty nice, I can definitely imagine drinking several of theese with my christmas dinner. andersand (392), Malmö, Sweden
