2.3 0.33l bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours golden/amber with small white head which disappears quickly, clear. Aroma of strong alcohol, dried fruits, plums, oak barrel, grain. Bitter taste with strong dry aftertaste. Full body, heavy, flat. Too strong, too boring, nope.

3.1 Butelka 0,33 litra, zakupiona przez kolegę w Austrii. Barwa złota, klarowna. Aromat słaby, słodowy, poza tym niewiele. W smaku slodowe, mocno alkoholowe. Mało przypomina koźlaka, bardziej strong lagera.

0.7 Кофти бира с тъп вкус.

3.0 Flesje uit supermarkt Fieberbrunn. Helder goud, kraag verdwijnt snel. Ruikt zoet, licht caramel. Smaakt zoet, licht caramel, licht alcohol, weinig diepgang, wel makkelijk te drinken.

3.6 Very sweet nose with alcoholic notes. Beautiful beer and clear but small head. Malty notes and rich barley in the taste. Palate long and very high viscosity. Keeps hanging on.

2.7 Deep golden color, with a little foam. Sweet malty and hoppy aroma. Taste is also hoppy, but there's too much alcohol in it's aftertaste.

2.7 Helles Bockbier mit gewaltigen 9,6 % Alkohol und unglaublichen 23 % Stammwürze. Geschmacklich, als würde man Exportbier und Sherry miteinander mischen. Recht süß. Anders als die extremen Daten erwarten lassen relativ süffig. Der extreme Alkoholgehalt fällt gar nicht so stark auf. Nicht schlecht für ein solches Extrembier - allerdings wenn ich mal einen Bock trinken will, wüsste ich hier etliches, was ich lieber konsumieren würde.

3.5 Bouteille 33cl Mousse : Petite mousse blanche adhérente Couleur : Jaune pêche Nez : Malt, fruits jaunes macérés, sucre, alcool, nez assez sec. Bouche : Saveur maltée très fine, fruits jaunes et macérés, sucre et alcool. Seconde bouche malt caramel, fruit macéré, note vanille et alcool. Final belle amertume fine et subtile. Avis : Petite sœur de la Samichlaus, Dopplebock Autrichienne fine et chaleureuse.

4.9 En copa Teku. Jugando a Shantae's Half Genie Hero. Riquisimas notas acarameladas que invitan a seguir bebeiendola a pesar de su elevado abv y se te hace hasta corta. 6 meses pasada de fecha

3.9 Transparent light caramel pour. Strong carbonation quickly dissipates and the minimal white head disappears as the bubbles still completely. Nose of candied fruits; figs, prunes, fresh raisins. A touch of butterscotch and toffee. Massive creamy malt presence, medium mouthfeel. Warmth lingers after. Sweet whiskey and cognac style mid-palate with that lasting heat in the aftertaste. Eggenberg never disappoints and this big beer is no exception. Some crisp hop notes are discernible, but this beer is really all about the high malt presence and the swirling notes of sweet dark fruits. Very good and packs a punch.

3.9 0,33 bottle. Borostyán szín, az eddigi duplabakoknál picit világosabb. Szép fehér, tömör, tartós hab. Illata gyantás, füves, inkább komlós, de ahogy melegszik, konyakos, édeskés malátás, alkoholt is érezni. Íze erős belgára hasonlít, érezni az alkoholt, konyakos édeskés alapíz, mellette már elsőre érezni a komlózást is. Idővel melegedett, egyre teltebb lett, aszalt gyümölcsös, szilvás, kicsit alkoholos lecsengéssel. Nagyon komoly ital! habja alatt kevergetésre nagyon szép mikro- buborékos játék játszódik... Érdemes -megnézni és kipróbálni. Végére melegebben az alkohol nagyon dominál, talán kicsit sok is. *** Amber color, slightly lighter than the double bottles so far. Nice white, solid, durable foam. The smell is resinous, grassy, more hopy, but as it warms up, cognac, sweet malt, you can also feel alcohol. The taste is similar to strong Belgian, you can feel the alcohol, the sweet taste of cognac, and you can also feel the hops for the first time. It warmed up over time, becoming more and more full, with a dried fruity, plum, slightly alcoholic finish. Very serious drink! under his foam mixing is a very nice micro-bubble game is going on ... It's worth - check it out and try it. By the end, warmer alcohol is very dominant, maybe a little much too.

3.3 0.33 bottle brought to me by friend from Vienna. Clear dark golden colour with medium , short lasting white head. Aroma is malt , sweet , cocoa . Taste is malt , fruity, raisins , boozy , medium bodied , odd aftertaste.

3.3 Tohle pivo je hodně zajímavou variací sladového likéru. Příjemné sladové aroma, silná alkoholová hřejivá chuť s tóny pečeného chleba a lehce nasládlé doznívání.

3.1 bottiglia 33 cl, schiuma beige fine media persistenza, color oro limpido, al naso malto lieviti intenso miele, in bocca malto caramello frutta secca nocciola e miele, carbonatazione piatta, corpo rotondo, molto dolce con amaro accentuato lungo nel finale. Si sente un po’ troppo l’alcool. Non è il mio stile. 29.04.19

3.2 Aroma: initial hop bitterness, sugar sweetness and a touch of vanilla Appearance: pale amber with a smallish white head Flavour: hop, apricot, blended bitterness & spiritous Palate: medium mouthfeel and loads of bitterness to balance. finishes clear

3.5 0,33l bottle. Clear deep golden colour with quickly disappearing white head. Aroma: Caramel, hay, flour with apple notes. Taste: Has a strong sweet and malty start that suddenly turns into a very alcoholic and surprisingly bitter mouthfeel. Has a quite liquorish caracter. Medium body with fizzy carbonation. Long lasting bitter finish. Not bad, bad too alcoholic in the taste, it's not hidden at all.

2.7 Den Urbock gibt es auch schon gefühlt ewig im Supermarktregal. Nur wenige Biere erinnern so sehr an Cognac beim Trinken. Dabei meine ich jetzt aber keine Barrique-Aromen, sondern wirklich den süßlichen Weinbrand, den Omas so gerne trinken. Mein Geschmack ist es eindeutig nicht, aber wer eben Weinbrand und fruchtigen Alkohol mag, ist hier gut aufgehoben.

3.3 F: medium, white, average retention. C: gold, clear. A: malty, nutty, grassy, bready, floral, caramel, bit oxidized, bit alcohol. T: malty, bready, caramel, bit nutty, a lot of warming alcohol, decent bitterness, medium body and lower carbonation, aroma is nice yet taste not so much, 33cl bottle from Billa AG, Mariahilfer Str., Vienna.

3.2 Flaska od kamarata. Vona sladova karamelova. Farba tmavsia zlatista. Chut karamel a alkohol.

2.6 Dark golden appearance, creamy head. Malty caramel notes. Slightly rougher aftertaste.

3.3 Mousse faible, blond orangé. Nez subtil, alcoolisé. En bouche, le malt sucré prend le pas, suivi par l'alcool, mais pas trop présent. C'est riche et sucré, mais pas écoeurant. On n'en boit qu'une cependant. Très subtile amertume en fin de bouche, très belle longueur en bouche.

3.2 Flasa z rakuska. Vona aj chut tazke sladkaste na konci do horka. Farba bledomedova.

3.4 Bottle. Clear golden with creamy off-white head. Sweetish aroma with notes of caramel, dulce de leche, raisin, fruit liqueur and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with notes of caramel, very alcoholic, raisin, dried fruits, some toffee and fruit liqueur, sticky. Full-bodied.

3.1 Bottle. Clear golden with a thick head. Caramel, honey, toffee and alcohol aromas. Very sweet, caramel, fruity esters, honey, candy, alcoholic bitter finish. Medium bodied, syrupy.

3.3 Goudgeel, helder, minimale witte schuimkraag, weinig koolzuur. Aroma: Zeer moutig, brooddeeg, zoetig, honing, iets karamel en wat alcohol. Smaak is Moutig, zoet, karamelzoet, beetje geroosterd brood, wat alcohol warmte. Boven medium body, siroop achtig mondgevoel, zacht koolzuur. Zonde dat hij te zoet is. Afdronk is moutig en bitterzoet.

3.3 Aroma is very malty, a bit caramel and small alcohol content. Deep gold, clear without head. Rich and malty, toasty, sweet in finish. Medium, light carbonation.

3.6 Picked it up at a Conad in Trentino because I saw ‘pale double bock’ and thought that sounded interesting. Didn’t notice it was also 9.6% haha! So upon my first sip: shock was what I felt more than anything else! But it’s really nice, once you know what you’re getting. Gorgeous deep golden colour and rich depth. Smell is deceptively tame: it is still a lager after all. Resinous mouthfeel akin to an IPA, with that same chewy quality only no real hip presence. Instead, a slightly floral, perfumed booziness. It’s a sipper. But a nice one.
