Einbecker Ur-Bock Dunkel

Brewed by Einbecker Brauhaus
Style: Dunkler Bock
Einbeck, Niedersachsen, Germany

Dark coppery colored, little yellow head. Good aroma with chocolate, toffee, nuts and some hops. Medium bodied. Flavor is also chocolaty with some hoppy roastiness. Bitter aftertaste. Not much else comes up, still ok beer.

Green bottle. Grassy hops and dark malt aroma, sweetish fruits with caramel. Amber body with a beautiful creamy, lacing, rocky beige head. Bitter malty taste, very hoppy-dry and salty with subdued dried fruits. Caramel and wood. Light nuts. Powerful taste, attention-grabbing. Medium-full body, and the only sign of alcohol is the pleasan, smile-inducing warming. Salty dry finish and long aftertaste. Very surprised by this find: may be the best (single) Bock I’ve had.

Poured from 11.2 oz bottle. Very nice copper color. Slight white head, no lacing. Very sweet aroma...Initial taste is sweet malt, with hint of carmel. Smooth finish. I really enjoyed the flavor of this beer. Not what I was expecting!

From an 11.2 oz. bottle. A deep copper colored body is topped with a very ligth khaki colored head. I smell earthy potatoes and some mushrooms. There is also some dusty toffee. The taste has some rich toffee and a little bit of cocoa. The dry finish is crisp and leaves one wanting another drink. A decent bock, I appreciate since it is not too sweet.

From a stubby 11.2 oz. embossed green bottle with a freshness date on the back label. Poured a clear reddish caramel copper brown with a large fluffy, rocky head, good retention, settled into a thin creamy lacing, good amount of ringed, laced sticking. Aromas of caramel and dusty grains, a floral herbal and spicy alcohol. Good carbonation and a crisp, dryish, smooth medium bodied mouthfeel. Pleasant tasting, caramelized sugar and toffee, soft herbal, spicy hops with a light bitterness, a subtle toasted grainy towards the end and a dryish malty finish. A nice, simple, quaffable bock, easy drinkability at a affordable price.

Amber beer with large foam head. Strong rich malt flavors with bitter aftertaste. Drank this one frosty cold in a mug. Fine sample of a bock style beer. I’d drink it again.

[Tasted with svoger.] A great and good choice for the bock style. Indeed you can drink thisone, eventhough if you cannot stand the style as I do.

Bottle. Cloudy and brown, with a thick head that laces down the glass well. The aroma is straw and raw grains. Thick and sweet, with a quick finish. Almost no hops appear in the flavor profile.
