Oct 25, 2007 Draft at Tyler’s in Durham, NC. Poured a clear copper color. Head was thin and off white. Aroma was of light brown sugar. Delicately sweet on the tongue with malty toffee, subdued brown sugar, and a hint of chocolate brownie and assorted fruits. I also detected a bit of caramel in the finish. There was a detracting hint of adhesive tape in the aroma and flavor, but overall this was a decent beer.

Jun 26, 2007 On draught at Speakeasy. Pours a brownish amber with no head at all. No lacing either. Nose is full of malts and berries. Flavor is full of a nutty maltiness, more berries (blackberry, raspberry especially), a little caramel. The german malt profiles are very different and interesting. Nothing amazing, but pretty good.

Jun 25, 2007 Sample at Tyler’s, Durham. Rusty color with minimal head, this has some very floral characteristics to start with bready malts at the back. Nice and chewy, a bit of caramel. Not bad but probably nothing I’d seek out again.

May 14, 2007 On tap at Fishmongers in Durham, NC. Dark reddish brown color with a thin white head. Some cherry and caramel hints on top of a grainy aroma. There’s a little bit of chocolate malt and caramel taste in this one. Some apple juice.

Apr 21, 2007 Helen’s Bock is named for an Ashevill,e NC bridge. Pours a ruddy golden amber with a dense head of ecru. Fruity aromatics with plenty of stone fruit and sweet caramel squares. Flavors are solid with a dense feel, smooth and malty and fruity. Enjoyable mouthfeel, and a drinkability that makes it easy to slide down the gullet.
