Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin biege head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, and so is the flavor, though added a note of alcohol. Thanks yespr for sharing.

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Clear orangey brown with a frothy, off-white head leaving some laces. Sweet aroma of roasted malt and Danish Rye Bread. Medium body, roasted malt - almost a little burned - and again Danish Rye. Rather subdued bitterness. 050608

Smells like mosquito repellant and tastes like it too. Pours a light cloudy amber, which is too light for a bock. Malt is detectable in the nose and body, but there is a terrible off-flavor that tastes like a hop tang that reacted with the clay bottle. Finish is probably the most enjoyable/least unpleasant. Definitely not worth the $6.79 a bottle or the name bock.

The aroma is malty and sticky sweet with huge notes of raw honey. Fruity as well... sweet, tropical fruits (combination of plums, apricots and Guava). Clear straw-colored beer with tons fo tiny particles evenly dispersed. Medium-sized creamy white head. Mostly diminishing with decent lacing. The flavor is very malty and mildly sweet with honey, citrus fruit and apricot up front. Mild hop bitterness and pungency to balance things out on the backside. Slight alcoholic presence as well. Medium-bodied with an oily mouthfeel and soft carbonation. Short, lightly tart, dry finish with a hint of Orange blossom or clover at the wee end. Leaves a nice oily feel in the mouth. Recommended whether you like Bocks, Belgian Tripples or Saisons.

Bottle (thank You, EithCubes!): Chestnut-amber coloured, small lacing tanned head; sweet dark-malty, fruity (berries) and a bit vinous nose; sweet (fruity) flavour, medium bodied, a bit sticky; sweetish, fruity, a bit vinous finish with delicate chocolatey bitterness in the aftertaste. Lacks a bit of bitterness to be really good, but all in all a quite decent Bock.............
