May 23, 2009 Bottle. Dark orangey brown beer with a deeply malty and mildy dry aroma. The flavour is rich and mildly sour with a dry finish. Overall a nice’ish beer.

Dec 30, 2008 Courtesy of Bo from Aakjærs in Esbjerg who gave me this a few days before the BB, and I had it a few days after. It is hazy, orange-brown with a creamy head. The aroma is sour with notes of malt, yeast and citrus. The flavour is slightly sour, tart, no sweetness, notes of malt, yeast, citrus and light fruit. It is either very far from what a bock normally is, or else it is infected, and I’m pretty sure it is.

Aug 9, 2008 My Bottom Line:
Fruity caramel and herbal hops dwell alongside doughy yeast in this balanced, drinkable and crafty Dunkler Bock.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A creamy head of foam recedes into the copper gown.
-There is no sign of alcohol in the flavor profile.
-The fruitiness is quite complex and could emulate cherries and bananas at times.
-A light wooden hop bitterness follows the toasted and caramel malts.
-The body is rich and satisfying, yet remains quite drinkable.
From the bottle at the brewery restaurant. Thx Giulio!
