Jul 5, 2008 (Bottle 50 cl) Slightly hazy golden with a creamy, off-white head. Aroma of malt - perhaps also unmalted grain? Medium body with sweet malts, slightly flowery. No real bitterness. Pleasant all right, but not exactly the Dunkler Bock the label claims. 290608

May 28, 2008 (swing top bottle) Cloudy, orange colour with a thick but not very persistent, slightly yellow foamy head. Yeasty, moderately sweet barley aroma with notes of pop-corn and a subtle fruity touch. Moderately sweet flavour, medium to full bodied with a smooth mouthfeel. Yeasty and subtle fruity (grape-fruit, pears), barley-malty and grainy taste; moderately sweet yeasty and malty finish with a faint herbal hoppy touch. Not overly convincng but easy to drink. The brewery calls it a “Dunkler Bock” but actually it is not really dark (28.05.08).
