Bottle - trade with Sigmund (Cheers). A dark brown coloured beer with russet hues. The aroma is full, sweet and malty with chocolate notes. The taste is heavy malts with brown bread characters. A very tasty beer verging on German Doppelbock qualities rather than the sweetness of some Bocks.

Jun 6, 2008 Small head is blond beige and has big bubbles with lacing. Liquid is reddish brown and clear. Malty aroma has sweet caramel malts and rye bread. Grassy hops with some raisins. Begins with medium roasted malts and finishes as light bitter and caramel sweet. Quite rich maltiness. Medium sweet flavor with quite light bitteration. Medium bodied, texture is oily and turns to a bit sticky dry in the finish. Decent beer with malty body.

Jun 5, 2008 Decent enough beer, not overly sweet, but has an assertive maltiness. Lots of caramel, with a hint of herbal spices and some dried fruits. Not alot of complexity, but alot of drinkability. Good session style.
