2.5 330ml bottle. Dark brown with a loose head & slight fizz. Sweet bread aroma. Very sweet taste but clean with no aftertaste.

3.1 Bottle. Dark brown with thin head. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, and a hint of coffee. Medium body, medium sweetness, and relatively strong roasted malt notes. More black malt than I expected for a bock.

2.3 Pours a cola brown with a creamy off-white head. Sweet, nutty nose. Creamy, thick mouthfeel. Those are the best qualities. Way too sweet, like near-flat cola with a few drops of welfare whiskey mixed in. Could be great if the malt bill were more refined and it had a touch more hops.

4.0 Aroma: Medium malt, dark fruit, plums, light toasty Appearance: Body: Clear, dark amber. Small, cream head. Good retention Flavour: Medium malt, dark fruit, plums, melanoidins, medium sweetness, chocolate. Light toasty Slightly semi-dry finish Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium carbonation. Overall: The lower alcohol does make it more quaffable. Enjoyable and very nice flavours and aromas. 330 ml bottle, poured. Thanks Andre! 5B. Traditional Bock

2.8 Bottle. Dark brown with a loose beige head. Aroma of malt bread, some chocolate, a little plasticy. Very sweet but mostly pretty clean. Bread, prunes, slight roast. Does dry out a bit, no bitterness. Pleasant enough.

3.5 12 oz. bottle pours a clear brown with red edges and a small light tan head without much lacing. Aroma has light chocolate, roasted malts, and some nuts. Taste is sweet caramel with a bit of dark fruits but a slightly bitter finish. Body is medium without much carbonation. Easily drinkable. This was my go-to daily beer in the late 1980s and still one I seek out when I want something inexpensive with its own personality and some substance. It is still my hands-down favorite from the old brewery formerly known as Joseph Huber.

2.7 16oz can. From I don’t remember where... Shared at GreatMoloko’s place. Code on bottom reads 13 199 23. Clear red brown color. Surprisingly red. Thin khaki head. Some bits of lace. Pretty solid nose up front. Chocolate, nutty, toasty nose. Caramel malt in the flavor. Moderate sweet taste, light bitter. Medium body. Kind of crisp, lighter carbonation. Solid interesting bock.

2.2 Bottle from B&M. My 2nd attempt at this beer - tried it a little more chilled this time. Aroma: Caramel, Malty Appearance: Pours dark red brown, tight creamy head. Looks like a Cola Float. Taste: Sweet, Sweet and a bit more Sweet. And then a touch of "Whisky" on the finish. Palate: Fizzy and Syrupy Not one I’ll be rushing to drink again.

3.1 May 25, 2014 - can from Jim. Brown pour with some head that faded quickly. Malty and spicy in both aroma and taste.

2.8 Bottle shared with Button, under a tree, at Ripon races, 18th May. Clear, dark red. Bubbly, off white head. Looks good. Went downhill after, though. Overly sweet fruitiness. Taste and palate are syrupy. Sweet finish. Not for me.

2.7 Bottle. Deep cola pour with a small head. Sweet malty nose - caramel and sugars. Medium palate. Maybe a touch metallic in the taste.

3.2 Bottle from B&M. Deep ruby body with a cream head. Quite fruity at first with some coffee and chocolate malt flavour comingin aftrwards. Not a strong flavoured beer, but what there is is fairly decent. Not bad.

2.7 Bottle. Dark rouge, no head. Sweet with a sticky texture. Has a touch of roasted malt but more dominant with its sugars.

2.7 Bottle. Super sweet and malty. Caramel, hazelnut, milk choc overlaid with tons of toffee sweetness.

3.3 Bottled 21/01/14. A blackish brown coloured beer with a white head. More like a Schwarzbier than anything else for me. Dusty chocolate and sweet caramel. Tasty enough I guess if a little too sweet. Score 3.2 Subsequent rating scored 3.4. Average becomes 3.3

3.7 Very dark red brown appearance. Fruity aroma with some blackcurrant which comes through in the flavour too. It’s fruity with some light coffee tones. Quite sweet.

4.2 Bottle b and m. Dark ruby colour tan head. Aroma is cocoa and dark malts brown sugar. Taste is bitter sweet coffee chocolate and malts. Prickly carbonation good body. First beer of this style right up my street v nice at 70p a bottle i will be going for more tmoz.

2.8 Bottle from B&M Bargains; dark reddy brown pour with tan head, fruit aroma, taste has dark fruits a hint of roasted malts, very sweet some minerals, quite sticky, not for me.

3.9 Cheapo 330 ml bottle from B&M. ABV on the bottle stated 5.5% Poured into a Hoegarden tasting glass. malt loaf and wet garden aroma. Dark ruby with a generous beige head. Fruit cake and black treacle flavours, old prune and fig with something earthy and vegetal offering a bit of complexity. Also a slightly smoky quality. Full bodied, slick and chewy, with a long finish. I opened a second bottle after the first, and it kept my interest to the end.
