| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 22, 2007 Bottle: Plentiful and thick head. A nice bock aroma, with hints of tobacco bitterness, lots of malty sweetness, some sweet chocolate and a touch of tartness too. In the mouth, this beer just seems bad. Starts out mildly chalky, with way too much tartness for the style and not enough malt. The tobacco qualities barely squeak out in the finish, but over all this beer was too tart and crisp. A sweet chocolate flavor does develop as the beer continues to warm, but does not every seem to overpower the tartness. Not a very good offering from Anchor... jsquire (2113), St. Marys, Ohio, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Apr 21, 2007 This is a dark beer that almost glows red when held against the light. Small foamy beige head. The sweet malty nose seemed like grains in Coke. Malty beer with some dark bread, roast grains, burnt toast, and a hint of root beer sweetness. Some pit fruit in the background. The hops toward the end of the sip are very green, with pine and grass dominating the finish. The alcohol tastes more than 5.5%. Nice dark bock. npdempse (931), St. Petersburg, Florida, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 20, 2007 Very dark brown, with a tan head. Odd aroma--quite bitter, some metallic overtones, and carob. Flavor’s much nicer--fairly sweet, with some melanoid notes, raspberries, a dry nutty bitterness. chimplechamp (465), Oslo, Norway

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 16, 2007 Deep reddish brown. Texture felt a little thin and a bit too carbonated, but it seemed to thicken up slightly as it warmed (became chewier, almost). First impression was really nice, as it seemed to be full of flavor. Toast, cola, chocolate milk and sour/dark fruit. Rather drinkable. jake65 (1725), Williston, North Dakota, USA

Nose is rich with malt and dark fruits, rather sweet. Thick body reveals tastes of dark fruits, raisons, prunes, wine, and a rich maltiness. Sweet, yet swirling in flavor. Balanced at the same time.
