Deep dark red amber with a good head and sheets of lacing on the glass.
Aroma is a bit metalic along with fruits and caramel, malts and a bit of citrus.
Not bad.

Dec 8, 2009 Pours dark amber brown with a fairly large tan head. Aroma is a mixture of pale and caramel malt. Flavor is a slightly sweet caramel flavor that is also slightly sour. Not bad but not great.

Nov 9, 2009 Cloudy orange/brown color with a very thin white head. Bready, biscuity smell that was pretty offputting given the dirty socks smell that went along with it. This beer had an incredibly sour, infected taste that lead to an immediate drain pout. Definitely will not be buying this one again.

Nov 7, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a red-orange color with a small fizzy off-white head. Aroma is sweet, caramel malts, molasses, and fruits. Flavor is caramel malts, fruits, and citrus hops. Mouthfeel is somewhat dry, bitter, medium bodied. Decent and drinkable beer, but not a bock.

Aug 11, 2009 Pours amber with a fully receding tan head. Notes of thick caramel, bready malt, plums and some spicy phenols which are a bit undesirable for this beer. Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation. Not bad, but the lager fermentation seems a bit unclean.

Aug 6, 2009 12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours ruby with a nice big head. The aroma is slightly sour with dashes of malt and metal. The flavor is notably sour and slightly rotten tasting with a dash of malt and alcohol. The palate is creamy but still high carbonation.

Aug 1, 2009 bottle - Pours hazy auburn with a very small head. It smells of sour grapes. Uh oh. It tastes of sour grapes and maybe a little malt. It’s quite thin, too. This beer is infected. There is no way they gave it this strong sour fruit flavor on purpose. From the commercial description: "a traditional bock flavor profile". Not even close. Judging by the numerous ratings here that mention obvious sour or tart fruit notes, it’s often infected, so I’m going to go ahead and enter my rating. Drain pour. Beware!

Jul 21, 2009 Bottle, #489. Maroon pour with small head. Weird aroma and flavor, a bit mediciny. Not a good bock, pretty disappointing.
