Apr 2, 2009 Ft. Myers, Fl. - Total Wines - 12 oz bottle. Finally found this elusive brew from Anchor - one of the only ones I am missing. Very dark brown - almost black pour with a decent sized mocha colored head. Pleasant wort-like aroma with some dates and raisin notes. Good, solid rib-sticking bock flavor with brief hints of licorice, raisins, baked brown bread and a brief hint of chocolate. Thickish mouthfeel for a bock Solid, as expected.

Mar 31, 2009 Bottle. Pours dark brown with a red hue and a quickly receding head. The aroma is soy and bitter hops. Light hop taste, with wheat, salt and pretzels as well.

Mar 29, 2009 On tap at Mahars. Pours a nice brown color with little head. Flavor is sweet and nutty, but watery, still good though.

Mar 28, 2009 12oz bottle-pours a rich light brown head and mahogany color. Aroma is roasty-dark malt, pine hops fades in and out. As it warms molasses too. Taste is ashy-dark malt, earthy hops. As it warms the ashy is replaced by chocolate which improves the taste. Thanks jwc215 for picking this out.

Mar 23, 2009 12oz in mug. Deep brown with medium tan head. Mild raisiny and roasty nose with a touch of sulfur. Flavor is reminiscent of overextracted coffee, rather astringent and puckering. I admit, this is not my favorite style, but I was really hoping for a big toasty, Munich-y wallop.

Mar 22, 2009 Say, this is a tasty surprise. Pours darker than expected from looking at the bottle. Dark brown pour with tan head. Great lacing. Really a pretty beer. I’m probably rating this a bit high, but this hit the spot and is the kind of beer I’ve been looking for... rich and flavorful but light on the ABV. Nice dark malts, chocolate notes, some dark fruits, but a snappy little hop presence, too. I bought a single, but I’ll be going back for a sixer. Nice.

Mar 22, 2009 pours dark brown with light mocha head.
Aroma is hoppy and pine, some light raisins and nice bready sweetness as well as other dark fruits. Really impressed by it.
Taste, hoppy more on floral side, malty some lingering bitterness in the finish and spices. Darkf ruits, light caramel.
Could certainly get better with age and lose some of the bitter side.
