Commercial Description:
Until the 19th century, St. Nikolaus was a tall, stern, patriarch in bishop's robes. Then he became a sky-riding, jolly old elf. He may be a milk-and-cookies kind of guy today, but he knows what you want and it's this St. Nikolaus Bock Bier. It's rich, dark and full-bodied, brewed with a variety of roasted and chocolate malts. Celebrate the holidays with St. Nikolaus. He's in this bottle. Gee, we hope you've been good this year.

2006 batch. 12 oz. brown, longneck bottle. No freshness date seen. Poured out a deep chocolate brown, with a sticky tan colored head. It also has red highlights to it. Aromas are of chocolate malts, roasted coffee beans, sweet malts. Flavors are of roasted malts, semi-sweet chocolate, roasty. Thick mouthfeel, decent body. Alcohol is well hidden. Finished semi-sweet.

12 oz bottle 2005. Cloudy dark amber color beer with decent tan head. Rich malt aroma with some noble hop spiciness. Wow, interesting flavor. There are sweet rich caramel, coffee and toffee malt notes flavors. Some solid yeast notes that combine with the hops to create a medley of spiciness. The finish has the lingering spice with a growing chocolate and toffee maltiness. Certainly a tasty brew worth having again.

Bottle sampled at the Newtown Brewfest with Stegosaurus and the Mad Indian. Pours brown with an off-white head. Aroma of roast, caramel and fruit. The flavor was mainly roast and chocolate, with a slight hint of fruit. Good beer.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, orangey brown with a small, off-white head. Aroma of roasted malt. Medium body with notes of sweetish, roasted malt and perhaps a little caramel. No real bitterness. Very Bockish and decent. 300806

A dark brown beer with a fast disappearing dark beige head. The aroma is sweet and very malty, but also with strong notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of straw and hints of alcohol.
