Jul 5, 2004 Pours a darker amber color, medium tan head. Aroma of toffee, malt, and a little bit of nuts. Flavor is also pretty malty, some fruit, nuts, and toffee, followed by some hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied, some astringency though. Overall a very fine bock.

Jun 28, 2004 Attractive deep copper appearance. Aroma never really developed, although there were hints of roasted caramel malt and dark fruits. Medium bodied flavor that took on some of the characteristics of a nut brown ale, with the lively carbonation and a hoppy, bitter taste. Balanced finish as the malts began to reassert themselves.

Jun 18, 2004 Nice dark color, strong bitter taste thick crown, with a strong and present aroma. I like the smell of this beer, but i’m not a big fan of bitter beer maybe in a few years

Jun 8, 2004 Thanks to David for sending me so many great beers from Canada! Rasta is the Shizat!
Pours a robust crimson body and a tan ring of lacing. The aroma is rather sweet and fruity, notes of caramel, plums, apples, dates, pears, and brown sugar.
I take a sip…. Great palate, creamy and full. The flavor is SO much toastier than I was expecting! Caramelized sugars are intense, vigorously kilned dark malts, toffee, chocolate, and notes of coffee beans. A nice touch of smoke in the flavor… which is totally undetectable from the fruity aroma. I pull some darker fruits: prunes, dates, apple… oak, maybe some black pepper. Touch of smoky molasses… this is really great stuff!
As the beer warms, I find the ALC in this finish. It becomes more nutty, dark tabacco, a plug of that old Southern Chaw!
