Oct 1, 2003 (draught) Slightly hazy (chill haze?) red-chestnut; very slim, yellowish head. Soapy nose; touch of vanilla & raspberry. Taste is perfumed: vanilla, lime peel (kafir lime), strawberry; served way too cold. Medium bodied. Very perfumed - but that's not what a Bock's about. Even a hint of phenolic-benzene.

Apr 17, 2002 Updated: Feb 29, 2008Bottle. Head is initially small, frothy, off-white to light brown, mostly diminishing. Body is clear medium to dark amber. Aroma is lightly to moderately malty (caramel), trace hops (flowers). Flavor is moderately to heavily sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly to moderately sweet, lightly acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, syrupy texture, lively carbonation. Very little of interest in the nose, and needs more to balance the syrupy sweet malt. Can’t recommend it.

Jun 7, 2004 Small lid of light beige bubbles atop clear copper colored liquid. Very sweet aroma with caramel, toasted malt and a touch of vanilla and alcohol. Sweet fruity flavors. light raspberries and pears. Not very becoming for a bock. Finishes with a touch of bitterness and a bit of alcohol. Seems simple.

Aug 2, 2004 Thanks to JPDIPSO for this one. Pours deep amber with an off-white/almost tan head. Aroma of Concord grapes, malt, hops, fruit, melon, cherries (I thought the aroma of this one was superb). Tastes very malty, fruity, with hints of Concord wine, caramel, multi-faceted fruit. Finishes malty, with a semi-dry, crispness. Medium mouthfeel.
