Dark amber pour, very sweet caramel roasted malt aroma. Tastes of more roasted malt, caramel and nuts, a little dark fruit and chocolate with very mild hops. Nice beer, fair carbonation/mouthfeel.

Bottle from Kent Beer Festival, Canterbury: Poured a rich black. A little cold so aroma wasn’t very pronounced, a little coffee and roasted malt. Lovely satisfying flavour full of chocolate, coffee and roasted malt. Nice viscosity, lovely beer.

This bock pours a deep amber color from a 500ml bottle. A quickly dissipating small sized white foamy head. The aroma is nutty, caramel and sweet. Light to medium bodied bock. The malts are nutty and a touch fruity, hints of chocolate and toffee. The hops are very mild, slightly earthy, Light and refreshing. The carbonation is nearly non-existent, which kind of detracts from the flavor. There is a kind of sugary apple juice like quality noticeable at the finish. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is sweet.

500ml bottle from Old World Deli. Sweet & nutty aroma. Dark brown with thin light brown head which disappears fast. Lively medium palate, coffee, semi-sweet consistent flavor… very drinkable. Flavor not overpowering. Malty taste lingers on after drinking this one.
