Dark brown dense appearance with ruby red highlights. The small head died down quickly and latent carbonation was very low. Aroma is floral hops and caramel malts. The amount of hops in the beer when it was cool surprised me a bit. The hops lend this beer a spicy mellow character. As the beer warmed, the sweet caramel malts started coming through quite a bit more. The mouthfeel is a bit thin, and the body feels a bit watered down. Drinkability is very good.

apparently as the Pub Crawl went on, my descriptions of beer became more vague so please forgive me. anyway, this beer was dark red with a malty flavor and bitter aftertaste.

Lots o' malt in this one. Very dark pour with a frothy tan head that was pretty well lasting. Lots of chewy caramel flavors are present. A good beer

Not sure what kind of glass this was. Sweet malt goodness. Deep brown body and no head. Nice bock malt and hop bite. Medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: a great bock, but it’s just not my style.

Drank this one on the fly as it was time to leave the 5 Seasons as the first stop in the pub crawl. Dark appearance. Flavor is very malty with some sweet fruit and chocolate in the there. A very nice bock.

Poured dark brown with an offwhite head. It does go down smooth and I think this one bit me in the ass later on. Good maltiness and an all round good beer.

A Classic bock, quite complete. A Dark Reddish Brown color, with moderate, yet fullfy head. Malty without seeming to be like food. Went down smooth with constant taste from start to finish. Not complex - just good.

Quite possibly the best thing I had here this time around. Nice black but far from opaque body (red hues). Large frothy head is just a little darker than off-white. Nice chewy malt leans heavily toward the chocolate end of the spectrum. Tasty but surprisingly drinkable beer.
