Jan 2, 2006 [can at Berlin restaurant, Montreal]
Clear, very dark brown with a thin flanel blanket top. Weak aroma of only noble hops. Lagery and spicy, melanoidin flavour with significant bitterness from malt, mingling with an alcohol flavour, fading to aluminium can. Medium body, warming, medium carbonation, clean.

Dec 29, 2005 Can (500ml). Dark brown-ruby color with thin tan head which disappears quickly. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee. A very flavourful and a rather strong dark beer. Body is a little thin. Alcohol is well hidden. Bitter finish. Without being great , this is a rather decent beer.

Can - October 2005
Pours black with a ruby huey. A white head dissapears too quickly only to remain a fade of its former self.
The aroma part is the best on this one. Aroma is sweet, chocolate, grainy.
Taste is sweet, but watery, medium carbonatation, too simple, very flat. Mouthfeel is thin.
This one wasn´t bad but was boring and forgetable.

Oct 20, 2005 Can (500ml). Poured very deep clear copper with a large foamy beige head. Aroma is frankly vegetal - some dark roast malt, maybe even fruit, but earthy and composty. Taste is decent - mild dark malt, a touch of sour wine, some hop bitterness and prunes. Mouthfeel is average body at best, somewhat metallic. Hides its 7% well, at least. Another Holsten ehhh, better than some of theirs.

Sep 21, 2005 Looked like coke and was surprisingly thin for a 7% bock.
But not too shabby somewhat maltish, sweet and a touch metallic (drank from a can)... leaves little lingering impression, but not unpleasant.

Aug 12, 2005 A flavourful and strong dark beer. Looks very appetizing in a textured mug.

Jul 19, 2005 Dark as night. Flavour and aroma were off-putting in a weird way. Far too sweet but I might give this another try just to be sure.
