Nov 4, 2006 12oz bottle. Dark amber color brew with light brown head. Sweet malt and molasses aroma. The flavor begins with a slight tart twinge that hits as the carbonation does. Then roasted malts and some brown sugar (maybe) fill in the rest of the flavor. As the taste ends the flavors kind of even out and dissipates.

Nov 3, 2006 Thanks to dickinsonbeer for opening the bottle...
Appears a dark brown with some deep crimson notes around the edges. A chunky, tan head slowly fades out into a mild cap and leaves little spots of lacing all around the glass.
Smell is of cocoa, roasted nuts, cream, toasty malt, molasses, and a touch of caramel with some notes of gentle astringency.
Taste is of the aromas with a bit of astringency coming through more in the flavor, making for a slight dropoff against the aromas.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, thin along the palate, and astringent.

Nov 2, 2006 Bottle from dickinsonbeer. Thanks! Very dark brown. Very small head. Aroma is heavy molasses , dark roasted malts, and a bit of caramel. Medium bodied, flavors are less pronounced than nose--very roasty, molasses again, coffee grounds. Overall, enjoyable, but lacks the sweetness I like in a bock. Very happy to get to try this one though. Great Label. I guess I just like goats.

Oct 31, 2006 Bottle. Very dark, close to black. Thick lacy brown head that last forever. Quite noticeable carbonation. Packs a hoppy punch in the initial aroma, this note fades and yields to roasty malts that also dominate the taste. Sweet with a note I can best describe as "fresh".. whatever that means... But overall, this is great stuff. Maybe not a perfect example of the style, but to me, that’s no loss. Creds to Systembolaget for getting hold of this stuff.. "available only in the San Francisco Bay Area while supplies last".. I guess it does have certain advantages sometimes with having only one retailer/distributor for an entire nation.
