I thought this was a little too weak and slightly over sweet for the style. It gets great appearance points for a dark chestnut pour and a handsome white cloudy head, that leaves some sticky lacing behind. Strong alcoholic presence on the palate, very grainy with lots of malt sweetness.

From a 22-oz bottle--Poured a deep amber that was slightly mahogany. Lively whitish head. A little too sweet and gritty for my liking.

[Bottle - Gabes Junk Food Paring] Drank this with a sharp cheddar cheese burger sample. This was good but I think a lighter beer would have been better. The beer was a good version of a bock with a dark colo and a good head. Loved the flavors this was a good beer neded a food that was more like Pasta.

Bomber - Poured a dark reddish amber in color with a thick creamy light tan head that faded to a nice lace on the top. Aroma is malty and sweet with a mix of yeast and mild hops thrown in. Flavor is slightly sweet too, but with a surprising amount of hop bitterness. The bitterness hangs in on the finish. Other raters spoke of a slight sourness and that did not show up, fortunately, until late in the finish. The sourness detracts from what is otherwise a decent beer. Worth repeating... definitely.

Nice reddish copper color with a thick creamy head. Strong sweet malt taste with a slight hoppy alcohol presence. It has a dry bitter aftertaste, but the initiall swallow goes down smoothly with tastes of coffee and citrus. I enjoyed the beer, but I am not sure it is true to style.
