darn1207 (528), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jul 13, 2009 12oz bottle. amber pour with a thin off-white head. aroma is sweat toasty grains and bread. taste follows suit - also with caramel and nuts. a little sticky sweet for me. unclemike (834), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA Jul 11, 2009 sample at the brewery red amberish color no bittertaste hard to put a finger on this beer a ok beer. durhambeer (1186), Durham, USA May 8, 2009 The best thing I can say about this beer is that it’s remarkably better than the ale, but that’s not saying much. Sweet and a bit nutty. Some break. It’s a bock. What? kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Apr 27, 2009

yobdoog (1420), Woodridge NY, New York, USA Apr 8, 2009 I think this came form a friend who is part of that BOTM club things. Why would they put the subscribers through having to drink this. Brownish red in color with a very light malt and some dirt. golubj (1275), Sunnyvale, California, USA Mar 3, 2009 Bottle, thanks to Mei. Reddish dark amber pour with some beige head. Aroma is sweet grain and caramel malt, lightly toasted. Flavor is the same, kind of nutty also. Doesn’t seem like a lager to me. ben4321 (952), Rockville, Maryland, USA Feb 25, 2009 Updated: Sep 21, 2009I just added this one, so I’ll be the first to rate it as well.
