| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Mar 16, 2009 I paid almost $22 for this 1qt 14.5 fl oz bottle at a liquor store Roseville, MI. Pours hazy tan-yellow with a very nice soft fluffy head. Smells of caramel, molasses, and corn syrup. Tastes of caramel, honey, molasses, and some grassy hops. Very nice creamy, sticky mouthfeel, and nicely carbonated. A slow warming alcohol. Very rich bock flavor. Tastes very German. Was this beer worth the price I paid?...not really. Is it worth trying?...Absolutely. dwaggs2 (563), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 5, 2009 Bottle. Not bad for a Budweiser or AB product. A deep amber pour with a fairly decent head. Aroma is rich malts and hops. Very well balanced between hops and malts. Fairly rich and smooth flavor. Very good for a macro beer. milljam (584), Norman, Oklahoma, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 1, 2009 Pretty terrible for being a "special reserve" beer. Typical bock characteristics. And the first part of the brew is really no different than any other part of the brew. Don’t be fooled by it....definitely not worth the price they ask for it. jkwalking05 (1501), Arlington, Texas, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 10, 2009 2007 vintage 750mLish at Ale Atlanta. Awesome. I’ve been wanting to try this for a while, but I didn’t want to spend any money on it. Amber color. Malty aroma. Hint of alcohol. Lightly sweet. Not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Should be rated blind to be fair. Decent. WISEGUY572 (1250), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 10/20 | Jan 2, 2009 Significantly better than I expected when I saw the box, not quite as good as I expected when I saw the beer. Almost hazy dark amber, small head, malty nose. Looks like a real beer. Creamy mouth. Starts off malty and a touch of hops ... and then just ... stops. Beer, interrupted. jeffwilliams11 (310), hooterville, Michigan, USA
