Amber color. Strong cereals flavor. Round mouthfeel with sweet caramel flavor. I feel the alcohol which is not very good. Ordinary.

Muddy amber color. Light malt aroma. Good body, some sweet malt and caramel flavor, not very bitter, quite simple.

Dark amber with a fluffy head. Sweet aroma with traces of burnt malt. Sweet in the flavor as well with a vinous edge. Malty and caramelly with a good spicyness and some bitterness in the aftertaste.

500 ml bottle with a porselain swing capsle sounding like gun-shot when opening (smoke included). Huge coarse big-bubbled beige head with laces clinging to the glass. Brilliant dark copper to light amber colored body. Starts with a nutty and sweet malty smell, followed by scents of caramel, bread and roast. Sweet-flavored; toasted malts, caramel and dark dried fruits. Mild refined hops towards the end. Good body. Light sugery mouthfeel. Short acidic-fruity and light bitter end. Reliable.

Bottle from Riepen, Harrislee. Pours a redish amber with a small creamy yellow-ish head. It disappears quickly though. Aroma has caramel, an ashy feel as well as a little strawberries. Lively mouthfeel. Falvour is surprisingly dry, not as sweet as other bocks. the ashy feel arrives again as well as some bitterness.

Bottiglia da 50cl comprata a Cheese 2007. Colore rubino molto scuro con ampia schiuma beige/rossiccia; aroma malto, vaniglia, caramello. Nel sapore ovviamente grande trionfo del malto, ma dolcezza abbastanza bilanciata nel finale (una buona presenza di luppolo, piuttosto curiosa per lo stile, considerando che Kulmbacher produce anche due eisbock dolcissime); corpo notevole. Meritevole.
