Big ups to TIGGMTL for hooking me up with one!
Pours a deep mahogony body, topped by a creamy looking and thin beige head. Massive malts in the nose, mild rum notes, burnt caramel, alcohol, and faint smoke. Nice! There’s also a little bit of nose burn from the alcohol.
Taste is sweet malts, lots of bitterness. Mild caramel and alcohol notes as well. Alcohol as well, but ads a nice warmth! Nice alcohol burn and warmth in the mouth. Cloying at times, long lasting malt aftertaste. Well balanced, complex, good example of what I think a bock should be! CHEERS TIGGMTL! Walt (2289), Chicago, Illinois, USA

Deep, toasted malt flavor with cheerios and plenty of dark grains, hinting at unfermented malt sugars. Has a leafy, grassy hops profile that is unusual for the style. Toasty and rich.
