Purchased from Randalls in Fairview Heights, IL. Poured nice, deep mahogany, with a tan head that closews into nice lacing. Aroma typical of dunkels, sweet, bready. Taste was fantastic. much smoother than my favorite Celebrator. Coffee, chocolate, with a hint of molasses. Mouthfeel was perfect. So good, I;m going back tomorrow for some stock.

-------- /> I would like to rerate this beer.

Chris_O was good enough to carry this all of the across the Atlantic and I appreciate that very much. This was a very good, full bodied bock, but barely a double at a mere 6.9 abv. It pours a bit thicker than most of the style. Very dark brown, looks as good as a bock can look, I have never seen a red tint on a bock before. Great full palate on this beer. There is lots of roasted malt, some light smoke, and caramel. The full palate and excellent flavor put this in the class as Celebrator.

Thanks to JK for sharing. Brownish red color with light caramel and milk chocolate on the nose. Caramel and milk chocolate reappear in the somewhat grainy body. Light hoppy finish.

Sampled at joebrew’s Sunday BBQ, thanks to JK for sharing. Pours a hazy dark reddish brown brew with a thin off-white head that quickly dissolves. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, light chocolate, some roasted nuts and a touch of chalk. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with flavors of raisins, caramel malt, roasted walnuts and some chocolate. Finish is semi-sweet with a slight raisin aftertaste.

Bottle thanks to HogTownHarry. Poured with an off-tan head. Aroma was very malty with a small bit of roast. Mouthfeel was thick with caramel, malt and a sweet bitter taste. A fairly good beer. I liked it.

Good label, good bottle, clear garnet brew with a bit stiff tan head. Chalky, slightly chocolate malt aroma. Malty, chalky, chocolatey, edgy acidity, tannic, raisins. Very full bodied, perhaps a bit pasty. Finishes off sweet and grainy. Market Square Liquors.

Shared at Joebrew’s BBQ; courtesy of JK. Dark ruby color with a thin head. Aroma of walnuts and almonds. Chalky body with lots of nuts and sweet malt. Plenty of Noble hops keeps the sweetness balanced out. Very nice.
