2008 Edition
341 ml bottle
6.2% ABV
I tried this beer on August 26, 2008 at "Smokeless Joe's" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a reddish brown with a thin white head. The aroma was sweet malt. The mouthfeel was medium bodied, aith medium carbonation. The flavour was sweet malt, with a definite bitterness in the finish. A good beer, but not a great beer.

On-tap at Volo.
A: Amber colour, impressive head, decent retention & nice lace.
S: Pleasant continental hop aroma, with a slight underlying caramel sweetness.
T: The hops say German, but the malt just doesn't. The sweet crystal malt has a house profile that's very similar to their 80+/-. Light bitterness & sweetness are nicely balanced. Malt & alcohol are a little weak (could use some more bready & nut flavours). It's a good brew, but it doesn't quite live up to the continental style.
M: Moderate body & carbonation.
D: Quite drinkable.

Bottle from the brewery day of release.
Poured a clear dark cola brown into the glass with a whispy 2 finger off white cap.
Aromas of toasty malts, bready, nutty and some dried fruit.
Medium body, smooth bready drinkable charcater, silky mouth feel.
Up front a wonderful chew on a thick mixture of toasty Munich and Vienna malts..nuts, sweet dough, toast..wunerbar! This mellows midpalate as the Hallertauer, Tettnanger and Perle hops lightly balance and provide a woody-herbal tone to the complex maltiness and leads into the finish which is wet, lightly sweet ( but not cloying), bready with nice herbal under tones and a bittering after taste...a very well constucted Dunkler Bock in the Bavarian fashon...spring is just as good as a time to quaff this dark Germanic elixer.
Prosit! Nickel Brook, another winner!
