| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Dec 31, 2008 The Navigator is deep red in color and cloudy. Bottled versions may not be cloudy, but all of their drafts are unfiltered. The aroma is mostly of malts and hops. The beer hits you with rich chocolate and cinnamon flavors at first but then the hops take over for a slightly bitter aftertaste. Alcohol isn’t overtly present. With the medium body, the beer goes down smooth and doesn’t overload on the carbonation. This is a fine beer if you can find it. T2Tool (352), Murfreesboro, Tennessee, USA

Much of the same nutty, roasty character that you expect from a bock, problem being there’s little body here. It’s a rather unsatisfying, almost watery beer. JAF737300 (797), Tampa, Florida, USA
