| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Oct 8, 2006 Gorgeous mahogany amber bodied brew with a pleasing malt flavor w. candi underlining and some smokiness. Decent, but not cloying, candi malt flavor. Very well balanced. Would consider this more akin to a winter warmer than a bock on tasting alone. BrewDad (2370), Olympia, Washington, USA

Dark brown in color with a rich malty flavor. This had a lot of great spices and subtle hops flavors this was a great beer. Can’t wait to drink more this fall and winter.

Taste of malt in the middle then goes more roasted. Good bock since I don’t care for this style. footbalm (1218), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 4, 2006 From kenb I think. Brownish dark amber brew with just a little bit of foam bubbles. This was a syrupy brew with some caramel toffee aromas but not much on the hoppy side at all. I drank about half of this as I just couldn’t get the flavor to agree with me.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 26, 2006 Thanks to Kenb for this brew. Pours out a ruby hued brown with some rich light roasted malt nose. The taste is smooth with a nice sized and textured head. The flavor is complex with some notes of toffee and some toasty caramel and maybe a touch of smoke here and there. Very solid beer even if this isnt’ my favorite style. yalnikim (781), Wellington, New Zealand
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 23, 2006 Tasted 23/09/2006. 22oz bottle from BrewNZ. Deep garnet red with a disappearing tan head. A litle cinnammon on the nose at first, then a rich underbelly of toasty continental-style malts, a little wood, tea, and a drop of alcohol. Sweet sappy malts, slightly caramlised and toasty, dominate the flavour with a light spiced hop note in the finish. At first I thought it was a little short but I dismiss this thought as I drink and the warming notes linger. A soft beer - lightly carbonated and medium weight. A little past its best but this beer is simple, elegant and most enjoyable.
