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.

pours a copper, with mild white head, not bad for a bock, has the caramel presence and the malt presence, some sweet tones hidden as well. a good try

on tap @HopfestNC-pours a big creamy retaining light tan head and copper color. Aroma is doughy malt. Taste is doughy medium malt, yeasty, faint hops.

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.
