| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 26, 2006 12oz bottle, 2005 vintage, courtesy of HogTownHarry. Thanks, Harry! Pours a dark blackish-brown with a light tan head; decent retention and lacing. Very generous aroma showing dried fruits, caramel, and roasted malts. Chewy sweet mouthfeel: caramel and raisins, charred malts, a bit of toasty vanilla; slightly dry and lightly carbonated; the hops are somewhat resigned at this point. Long finish, showing dried fruits, caramel, and spice. Pretty fantastic bock. aracauna (2391), Georgia, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 17, 2006 Pours an extremely dark brown with a decent head. The aroma is rich caramel and toffee malts with prune and date fruitiness. The flavor is sweet and rich and tastes more alcoholic than it lists. aerosol999 (113), Quebec, Canada
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 26, 2006 nose: Yeasty, bready, nutty munich aroma, slight alcohol character
appearance: Deep nut brown with red tint, pours thick but head disappears quickly.
palate: thin for a bock alcoholic hang
flavour: Lacks richness and deep munich character, roastiness overwhelms the flavour and finishes with a wet paper oxidized character
Overall, the roast character was too intense should have been more toasty malty munch/vienna character, maybe the oxidation got the better of it. Glouglouburp (2877), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 22, 2006 Dark ruby-brown with a small tan head that disappears as quickly as my cousin Louis in front of a strip club. Molasses and black liquorice aroma. Taste is very malty (dark roasted malts), very sweet and syrupy, molasses, some black grapes and why not some black chocolate. Full bodied, heavy and with a satisfying mouthfeel. Alcohol is a bit more present than it should be at only 6%. An unusual bock. Good. unibrouefan (124), Gatineau, Quebec, Canada
