| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 27, 2007 Aroma of some roasted malt, some molasses, and some coffee. I thought it smelt like a porter. Pours dark brown with a nice velvetty beige head. Flavor is some subtle molasses, chocolate, a little mocha, nice and roasty. It finishes a little sweet with some mild hints of clean hops. Very drinkable. RCL (1488), Waltham, Massachusetts, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 24, 2007 Rather rootbeer-y aroma. Rich, yet still light flavor with hints of molasses on the finish. jewedekind (450), Middleton, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 14, 2007 Only points off for being too West Coast. This is a great bock. Deep mahogany beautiful in the glass, light head. Taste us rich roasted malts, a bit Baltic porter-like qualities with that rich maltiness and clean finish. Again, this is more of a porter than a bock...but I like it. piscator34 (1132), Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jul 13, 2007 Bottled sample via boutip. Medium brown in colour with ruby hints. Aromas of malt, caramel, and red berries. Malt forward in flavor, as one would expect from the style, without any let-up in dark berry (raspebrry and cherry) fruit. A bit of dark caramel near the finish, along with a bit of minerals. Thick bodied, and fairly sweet. A rich and fruity drink.
