It’s a good bock beer with lots of different flavors. It looks good, smells good, and tastes great. I’d gladly drink it again! jgb9348 (2500), Arlington (Pentagon City), Virginia, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 14, 2009 Nice perfect looking deep copper and ruby tinted amber body with a nice two centimetre tall deep tan head - this is how you want any bock to look like! Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, raisins, pit fruit and a bit of basement oldness - just like a typical bock again that you’d find in Germany - nice so far! Medium-bodied; Nice roasty flavour with caramel, cardamom and a bit of toasted pine nuts that show before the malt and any hop bitterness at all - nice flavours throughout with plenty of complexity. Aftertaste shows plenty of roasted malt, nuts and sugars - nice body throughout. Overall, a pretty good beer, very representative to the style almost to a ’T’, with some perhaps too bitter and too roasty tastes for my liking, but definitely good to sample! I sampled this twelve ounce purchased from Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia on 11-July-2009, sampled at home in Washington on 13-September-2009. carl4beer (400), Fairfax Station, Virginia, USA

Pours a clear reddish brown with fair light tan ring of head. Nose of molassis and sweet alcohol fumes. Flavor is plum, rum, and biscuit. Has a good bit of warming for only 7%. Not my favorite of the series. DarkSong (110), Dacula, Georgia, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 9, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours a dark reddish brown color with a small tan head. It has a malty molasses aroma. It has a wonderful roasted, molasses and toffee taste with hints of espresso and chocolate. This is an outstanding beer. CaptainCougar (5493), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Pours a transparent dark copper brown with a thin froth of off-white head. Aroma of sweet doughy dark caramel German malts with a hint of brown sugar and noble hops. Starts with good fullness and a rich, doughy dark caramel husky sweetness with some light fruity tones and a full bodied, yet very drinkable sweet malty finish. Has just the right amount of noble hoppy bitterness throughout. A very well made and true to style Dunkler Bock that is amazingly drinkable. MadIndian (997), Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Mahogany pour with thick head. A dough smell with mild hops. Possible licorice. I would like to try this on draft.
Not bad
