From can. Deep mahogany colour with a decent off white head. Fruity malt aroma. Slight honey hints. Nutty malt flavour. Nice bitterness. This aint to bad by Jesus. Bitter finish. Slightly weird and a little odd but drinkable by Joe.

smells fishy, malty and salty. dark dark amber with a light beige foamy head, taste is nutty like pecans, malty, dark sugar, a little salty, mouthfeel is a little poppy and overcarbonated. this is legendary, nothing better bang for your buck, ever, in any situation, also enjoyable in a wide temperature range.

500 ml can. From Tallinn, Estonia. Dark brown colour with medium tan head. Aroma is brown sugar, some nuttiness and hints of alcohol. Flavour is sweetish roasted malty, some bitterness and alcohol. Mouthfeel is very enjoyably full and rich.

You know, I’m actually enjoying this beer. My wine Guru Steve from my local LCBO was the one who pointed it out, at first I was a bit skeptical because well.......every other faxe beer pretty much sucked. But this is pretty good. I havn’t really had to many Dunkler Bocks, infact, this is the first one I rated, so I don’t really have anything to compare it to. Ok, so it pours a dark mahogany brown with a shortly lived off white head. The aroma is toffee, caramel, a bit of nuttiness, coffee, brown sugar, tap water, and a light metallic note. The flavour is more or less an exact replica of the aroma, with a bitter instant coffee finish. It’s not the cleanest cut beer, its a little too carbonated, the alcohol is a little too prominent, the finish is a little weird tasting, but for the price, its pretty damn good.

I really enjoyed this beer. Caramel taste with a fuller palate was very enjoyable.

Can. Dark brown body with a light brown medium head. Malty aroma with light tobacco notes. Soft palate. Sweet malty bit alcoholic taste but with some tobacco and smoke notes. I was surprised by this one.
