Apr 12, 2008 Bottle. Came across as a little thin and low in flavor intensity. Could use a little more malt backbone to stand up with the top bocks out there. Disappointing.

Apr 9, 2008 First impression is that this is a pretty flawless example of the style. Big flavors all over the mouth of roasty, nutty malt and crisp noble hops. Spicy and herbal, while being rustic and earthy. Bitterness does twinkle around in the back, but it’s a very balanced beer. Palate is full and smooth. the more i drink the more the malt starts to fade and the hops come out srtonger. A little bit of a fruity/herbal flavor in there as well, like an apple or cherry. Very nice beer.

Apr 8, 2008 Disappointed with this one. The packaging made me expect a maibock but what poured out of the bottle tasted like porter. Strong diacetyl and roasted notes. Unlike any bock I’ve ever had. Still a good beer, just not to style.

Apr 7, 2008 Pours extremely dark brown with reddish tint. Nice beige two finger head and copious lacing Aroma of caramel and chocolate with hints of cream and, marshmallows. Flavor was caramel malt and a hint of hops and alcohol. Not complex by any means, but very smooth and tastey. A bit watery on the mouthfeel, but rich enough.

Apr 7, 2008 The Dan Journal #162. Tasted 4/5/08. 12oz bottle. Murky brown hue. Spiraling bone white head. Big nose! Aromas of graham crackers and sugary dark fruit. Medium bodied and very sweet. Very rich. Cocoa and fudge flavors with a mix of tart fruit. A little too sweet and acidic.

Apr 6, 2008 Hazy reddish-brown with a medium slowly diminishing tan head. Aroma of roasted malts, caramel, brown sugar and a hint of smoke. Tastes of sweet caramel malt. Medium palate with a light bitter and semi-dry finish. Decent bock.
