Jan 25, 2009 330 mL. Pours a dark, clear brown with a good two-finger, off-white head with good retention. Aromas of milk chocolate, roasted malt, raisins. Taste is slightly thin and highly carbonated but there is a lot of caramel, burnt sugar, and dark fruits. Balancing hops shine through in the finish. A good session beer.

Jan 20, 2009 I can’t believe i haven’t tried this beer yet, Purchased recently on sale for 5.99 a sixer: Pours a dark reddish brown with a medium sized tan head. Aroma is very pleasent and enticing with it’s lightly roasted malt character, pecans and milk chocolate. Mouthfeel is so soft and creamy- it’s a completely differnt taste from what im used to in bocks. Flavors are sort of milk chocolatey and coffee notes.

Jan 12, 2009 Draft at the local tonight with dinner. appearance number is somewhat skewed since it arrived in my ceramic mug from the mug club. The head was nice and foamy though. I was expecting a bit more nuttiness in the nose but recieved a fair portion of caramel. Body is full and rich. Chocolate malts with a sprinkling of instant hot chocolate greet the tounge and surround it with plentiful indulgance. A crisp dry finish offsets the buffalo chicken sangwich nicely.

Oct 30, 2008 Dark brown/ruby red color, thick off-white head. The aroma is incredible, a mix of dark fruits, cherries, chocolate, and sweet malt. The flavor is roughly the same as the aroma, a nice mixture of dark fruits and chocolate. The finish is sweet, but is then balanced by a slight hoppyness. Excellent bock overall.

Sep 17, 2008 Bottle thanks to mmm///beer. Pours a beautiful dark red color with a large brown head. There is lots of brown in the body, mixed with the redness it almost seems like purple. The aroma is great; sweet berries, chocolates, toasted malts, and some sweeter candy notes. The flavor is very complex and nice; tons of fruit upfront, sour cherries, strawberry and others. A rich chocolate and brown sugar follow, and some light coffee in the finish. Light body and a somewhat easygoing beer. Very nice.
