A very typical example of the style, only a bit better. Actually, it's a very good example.
Pours a brown color with a decent head leaving some lacing. As it warms, it reminds me of a cola that has lost the carbonation.
Smells of a toasted malt with a faint hint of hops.
Taste is typical. Again, toasted (okay, roasted) malts. Some fruits are present as well. Coffee teases the tongue.
Mouthfeel is better than average as it's a bit fuller than usual and it has a nice mineral mouthfeel. Drinkability is pretty good as well.
This is one of the best bocks I've had and well worth the search.

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.
