Oct 19, 2004 Chocolate malt, brown sugar and treacle aromas, auburn, pours a large tan head, some pretty lace. Flavour of treacle, chocolate, liquorice and woody too. Medium bodied, sweet and bitter. Very fine example!

Oct 16, 2004 A nice clear ruby with a medium lasting creamy light brown head. Strong aroma of hazelnut, malted milk balls, plum, caramel, tobacco, toast, raisin, and drip coffee with hints of spice and herbs. Medium thick velvety body with a moderate amount of carbonation. Slightly herbal/vegetable flavor of plum, raisin, drip coffee, caramel, milk chocolate, smoke, and toast with a hint of anise and spice. A huge, interesting bock. Big thanks to Rastacouere for delivering another Canadian winner! Excellent.

Oct 13, 2004 A trade with Tiggmtl, thanks! Dark ruby/orange coloured beer with a thick creamy tan head. Nice malty aroma, spicy and herbal, caramel, toffee and a bit of coffee and chocolate. Flavour is quite herbal, especially minty, coffee, licorice, and surprisingly, a fairly bitter finish. As the beer warmed up, the chocolatey character intensified lending the beer an interesting chocolate mint flavour. Complex and very tasty.

Oct 2, 2004 Updated: Sep 19, 2006Nice large, light tan head which settles slowly. Creamy on top with light carbonation. Aroma is dominated by malts and roasted grains. Bit of salty grilled hamburger also. Yes I am weird. Color is amazing. A nice deep, dark port brown. Flavor is nice and roasty with a bit of warming from the alcohol. More malts and a slightly dry mouthfeel. Finish is creamy, dry and a bit bitter. Slightly burnt also. Some hops presence at the fnish. A different flavor and texture for a bock beer but still quite good.

Jul 29, 2004 Reddish brown color, thin head. Very nice aroma : rich, malty and fruity. Very good flavor of malt, hops, fuits and toffee. Strong bitter finish. Medium body, syrupy mouthfeel. Very close to a doppelbock and then completely original with its assertive hops.

Jul 29, 2004 A nice bock. Deep garnet color, medium to no head. Rich malty aroma of munichy melanoidins, burnt caramel, a background of smoke. Earthy for sure. Flavor is earthy and caramelly toffee, with a surprising rise of hops in the finish. Body seemed to waffle from light to medium. Fairly well drinkable.

Jul 19, 2004 Reddish-brown colour with a small tan head. Rich, sweet aroma and flavour with strong caramel malt and toffee notes and a bit of chocolate lurking in the background. Well-balanced bitterness to finish. Body is a touch thin for my liking, but otherwise, it’s a very good beer. Thanks to jercraigs.

Jul 18, 2004 Dark chocolate brown body with a nice tan head. Aroma is pleasantly fragrant with lots of malt. Sweet malty flavour with nearly perfect level of bitterness to balance it. Mouthfeel is average. Very nice beer. Another hit in the Bieropholie line.
