Apr 12, 2007 Updated: Feb 23, 2008Pours dark black/brown with a frothy tan head. Sweet malty aroma with a light citric note. Flavor is the same as the aroma. Palate is medium/light, a bit of sharp carbonation, and lightly sweet. Fairly balanced, but very light flavor.

Apr 10, 2007 Bottle. Pour is a dark deep red with a quickly diminishing head that reduces to a thin ring of tan cream. Aroma is almost musty, with caramel sweetness accompanied by some smoke and moss. The flavor is very mild up front, with only the caramel malts, but the finish is quite smokey, to the point this beer could almost be considered a smoked. I detect some fruit as well. Dark fruits, like prunes. The carbonation is sharp, maybe a touch too sharp. Overall a quality brew that is easy to drink.

Apr 7, 2007 This is a well made beer. It’s pretty to look at - nice tan head, deepp reddish brown color, nice aroma. As fo flavor, it’s somewhat overwhelmed with hoppiness compared to what I was expecting. Well made, but not to my taste.

Apr 7, 2007 Bottle. Pours a deep garnet brown with a lacy orange head. Aroma of yeast, bread, fruit and caramel with a touch of herbal hops. Medium body with full carbonation. Taste of brown sugar, citrus, nuts, roasty malt and smidgeon of prune. Crisp finish with a touch of brown sugar and a twist of grapefruit.

Apr 7, 2007 Bottled (thanks omhper!). Dark brown colour, small brown head. Aroma is almost wineous dark fruit, caramel, toffee, raisins and slight roast. Flavour is raisins, dark fruit, alcohol, caramel and a bit acidic fruits. Some roasted hints in finish and aftertaste, along with quite crispy hops. Quite full palate compared to many other beers at the same ABV level.

Apr 7, 2007 Bottled (BB 03/2008)
Dark brown, almost opaque color, nice tan head. Toasted malty, chocolaty aroma with brown sugar and caramel. Stylish "light" dark bock (although not from the style book): toasted malts, sweetish fruity (plums) notes, solid malty background, hints of cocoa and vanilla. Balanced and enjoyable bock.
