May 17, 2008 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color with ruby highlights and a a very large brown head. The aroma was sweet, malty and lightly roasty. The flavor was tangy, bitter, roasty and a but nutty with a long tangy an d roasty finish. The mouthfeel was decently thick. Decent but rather forgettable.

May 11, 2008 A nice looking beer when poured into a mug. A great head that sticks around with a beautiful mahogany body. One of the nicer looking bocks and beers I have seen. The aroma is full of nuts and you even pull a bitter aroma if that is possible, you get a good sense of what is coming. The first taste is bitter and nutty. Nice but it sits a little off on the palate. As is usual with me it betters as it warms. I may just start drinking everything at room temperature to start.

May 8, 2008 Opaque dark brown pour with a three-quarter inch tan head. Nutty aroma with some toasted malt. Flavor is dark: lightly bitter nut, maybe toasted pecan, wood and black bread. Pleasantly smooth bock with medium thickness and a slightly slick mouthfeel. Rich and excellent.

May 7, 2008 nice dark brown pour with a small tan head that sticks to the edges. really malty aroma with dark raisins, molasses and cola. the flavor unfortunately can’t live up to the aroma’s hype... malt, molasses, banana-like aftertaste and a bit of smokiness are followed up by a sourness and acidic finish that is really out of place. it’s not roasted astringency. it’s just plain sour. medium body with creamy carbonation which does give it a pleasant mouth feel.

May 4, 2008 Dark brown-amber with a moderate amount of tan foam. Fairly high viscosity for a bock. Definitely not a stereotypical bock! It tasted like stout/porter/bock hybrid. The aroma and taste is dominated by floral hops and roasted malt with a more faint caramel malt hiding in the background. Fairly dry bitter finish for a bock. An interesting but not spectacular experiment.

May 2, 2008 bottle poured into a snifter has a dark brown bordering on black color and a thick tan head that fell to a ring in the glass. aroma has malt, plumb, prune, caramel, and light alcohol. flavor has dark fruit and malt, with some raisin sweetness and bitters. looking at the description of this style it fits it well with burnt notes and nutty flavor. medium mouth feel with plenty of carbonation and finishes with hints of sweetness and drying. really warmed to this as it went down.

Apr 30, 2008 Well, this beer smells great. I thought I was in for a treat when I caught aroma of it. Roasted malts and some sweet caramel. It looks nice too. Nice dark body with a thin, bubbly head around the edge of the glass. Then, you drink it, and it’s just not good at all. It finishes slight acidic and is slightly astringent. It doesn’t have much body, and falls flat. Meh.
