Pours with little head. Deep, rich ebony color. Malty nose. Huge malt flavor. Sweet with raisiny-licorice flavores followed by a nice alcohol wash. Heavy in body, but largely quaffable. Worth visiting for.

This just came on tap in Knoxville at Calhoun's (at the site where it is actually brewed) . The 2004 batch must be worth a try. Although it lacked a little head, carbonation was right. (It might have started out with a head. I was at a table not the bar) Good malty aroma with just a touch of hop. Malty, but not syrupy sweet, hops very subdued as they should be in a Bock. All in all, one of the best I've had from Smoky Mountain/ Calhoun's.

Red-orange with a thin off white head. Caramel and light sweet coca aroma. Taste is nutty, toasty, sweet caramel malts, more light coca. One of their best.

Draft from brewery. Pours a decent copper color, with a thin head. Nothing special in the appearance, the aroma had a lot of yeast and a caramel(?) like sweetness. Flavor was much like the aroma, with a mildly sweet finish.

On tap. A typical amber/orange pour with off white head. Malty sweet nose, some raisin and biscuit. Flavor pretty similar, nothing overpowering however, with some slight red fruits. Good drinkability. Descent enough I think, I don’t try too many Dunklers.

[GABF, Denver Co - 2006] Deep copper color with a light head. Liked the malts and the smokiness I get from this brew. This was a great beer for eating with dinner and the beer had a great finish to it. It was a citrus and spicy. I liked this beer.

Tap. Fruit hop aroma with a nose of caramel malt and brown sugar. Pours nut brown with an off-white head; good lacing. Hop start then caramel malt and toffee and finishes dry hop. Medium and heavy palate, a little dry.
