Score: upgrade I to iii

dark brown, good tan head, beautiful lace, dry malt aroma, creamy velvet body, wonderful rich malt flavor, mostly dry but the richness makes up for the lack of sweetness normally desireable in a bock, lots of chocolate character, more of a porter? great beer but an ok bock

Aroma: 5/10; Appearance: 8/10; Flavor: 7/10; Palate: 8/10; Overall: 16/20

The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

Draft. Dark brown with little head. Medium body and very smooth and drinkable. Good beer. This brewery was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.

Blackened ruby body with the smallest head of the bunch (not really saying much there with this group of perfect heads). Slgiht chocolate. Just a bit malty. Goes down really easy. Creamy body.

Deep tea brown, wispy head. Distinct raisin and prunes in the profile with a late side-of-the-tongue bitter. Fairly sweet. Medium-heavy body. Biscuity finish. Reminded me of those raisin bars you get at the grocery store. Some cocoa. Smooth drinking, distinct and the best beer here.

Don’t remember a lot about this one. It had a sweet taste with a touche of caramel.

Amber in color with small frothy head. Flavor is sweet malt with notes of caramel and toffee. Flavor is moderately sweet, well balanced with some biterness. Finish is crisp, clean and refreshing. The best offering from this brewery in my opinion.
