(33 cl bottle from Systembolaget) On May 29, 2008. Clea rcopper color, fluffy lasting white head. Malty sweet scent. Sweet grainy taste, some alcohol. Smooth mouthfeel, low bitterness.

Bottled. Clear pale amber, rich compact head. Faint malt aroma. Sweet and soft, mildly malty with spun sugar and cotton. Low hop rate and bitterness. It’s on the sweet side of the style, and gives sugar too much field to play on, but the very soft mouthfeel is very pleasant.

Bottle from Systembloaget. Copper body. Begie head. Aroma is very sweet malty. Has syrup, candy and leather. Flavor is quite the same. Also has some toffee and cola malt. To sweet! Palate is smooth and has a soft carbonation.

330ml bottle. Dense, mostely lasting beige head. Beautiful bright copper colored body. A gentle and complex aroma of refined sweetish malts with notes of dark bread, cream-caramel, butterscotch and dusty hops. Clean and crisp malt flavors, modertely sweet with some noble hops underneath. Good body. A nicely balanced and harmonious beer.

(Bottle) Pours copper-ish amber with a creamy off-white head. The aroma is malty up front with tones of, toast, bread, hay, roasted nuts, toffee and some caramel. The hop profile brings tones of grass and subtle herbs. The flavour is of bread, toast, mild caramel, nuts, hay, smooth milk chocolate fudge, grass, light herbs and light undertones of bread syrup. The mouthfeel is clean, soft, smooth, bit velvety, medium chewy and nothing less than perfect. Soft carbonation with small bubbles. The aftertaste is subtle and soft/velvety with hints of fudge/caramel, nuts and a tiny touch of hops. Medium bodied. A fantastic Bock, good job Grebbestad.

Bottled. Bright copper colour with creamy off-white head. Clean, malty aroma with notes of (twist of sour)dough, nuts and faint hops. Elegant malty flavour profile with freshly baked malts, little grassy hops, traces of chocolate and a perfect, gentle bitterness. Suggestions of spices, whatever they are. Smooth mouthfeel, almost oily/jellyish. Great Bock!

Aroma: full malty aroma with slightly flowery hops, very nice. Caramel, sourish, but LUCKILY not diacetyl. Sweet crackers. German.
Flavour: full-bodied, bittersweet, slightly nutty, cookielike without being to sweet with a nice bitterness and malt body that last throughout the fruity aftertaste. Slightly sourish, hoppy bitterness.
Appearance: Copper towards golden, clear body with orange tinted, bubbly head. Pretty nice.
