Oct 28, 2007 Cloudy caramel bock topped by a fading light beige head. Vegetal, honeyed and kinda toasty nose. Very bready and almost wheaty in mouth. Rather strong bitterness, quite flowery, sandy, long dry and ridiculously mineral finish. Biting, strong carbonation, medium bodied.

Sep 29, 2007 Transparent dark amber ruby with a nicely-lacing spotty tan head. Aroma of earthy grainy doughy dark caramel with a touch of light fruity tartness. Body starts fairly full with some maltiness and a drier, toasty, earthy finish. Slightly over-attenuated and possibly in the early stages of infection, but not all that bad.

Oct 15, 2007 My Bottom Line:
This spicy and sweet Dunkler Bock propels bready caramel maltiness onto the potent peppery and leafy hop flavors and bitterness. Unusual for the style, and rather incohesive, this big lager remains drinkable for its size.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam tops the pale brown.
-The nose is rather upsetting, not offering much in the way of clean maltiness.
-The finishing hop bitterness is out of proportion for the style, and does not have enough malt sweetness to be pleasant.
-Alcohol is well concealed, increasing drinkability.
