Mar 5, 2008 12 oz. bottle - dark brown with ruby highlights; head formed just around the edges; aromas of oranges, dates and malts; medium body becoming increasingly creamy; fruits and a little spice in the flavors; i’m really getting to like this style; easy to drink and very good

Mar 4, 2008 Bottle. I was a little disappointed with this one. Oh, I thought it was good but I had higher expectations. Smell was a tad weaker then should be. Appearance was nice dark brown color. Flavor was good because I like dark beer but it was a little weak. Overall, good beer but if I had more options I would probably choose another.

Mar 2, 2008 Every time I here a reference to ths one its usually too late to buy a six-pack so I was in luck when I ran into some over at Ledger’s Liquors, in Berkeley. Pours a small tan head with small bubbles, that disipates in only a few minutes. Nice dark brown color. To me a clear aroma of what must be chocolate malt. Taste is like a bock with dark malts in it. Perhaps a little more hoppy than a traditional bock. I like having a bock every once in a while, I’m just not 100% sold on this one now that I’ve tried it. May just have to do some additional ’studies" of teh style to be sure!!!

Mar 1, 2008 Pours a nice dark black, with a one-finger tan head. Aroma is odd...light, but slightly musty, kinda like a grandma’s basement. Flavor is heavy on the malt, with hints of dried fruits, smoked wood, and roasted nuts. Palate is thinner than expected, and finishes a bit too dry for my tastes.

Feb 27, 2008 Pours a very dark caramel, mild aroma. Slightly smoky malty flavor, with a dry finish. A decent bock from Anchor.

Feb 27, 2008 Smells a little hoppy yet malty with some candy. Friendly goat chewing on a hop branch. Good clean malty impact for the palate. Aromatic and volatile. Alky finish is a hanger onner.

Feb 26, 2008 Updated: Mar 3, 2008Apparently this was recently distributed to NC for the first time. Dark fruits, roast, and some hops.. about what I expected.

Feb 25, 2008 looking forward to this one, but was disappointed. Toastyness was not evident at all in the nose or in the flavor. Dark fruits dominate. And then something sour showed up in the finish. Not desirable.
