Aug 31, 2009 dark brown, almost opaque in color. Pours with a small head, but it doesnt last, and the whole mess of it quickly turns watery clear. Light, arely noticeable nutty aroma. Very nutty flavor, almos tlike a nut brown ale. flavor also has carmelized sugars. Texture starts off with a good bite. Unfortunately that bite follows into the finish.

Aug 22, 2009 I hate this place, but when one came to town, I had to try all the beers. They’re all average to bad.

Aug 9, 2009 Pours dark brown with a thin off white head. Aroma of caramel malt and toffee. Thick syrup type taste of the caramel malt and was sweet. At least it had some flavor though.

Aug 2, 2009 Pours dark amber with a 2-3 finger creamy beige head that has decent retention and leaves some lacing for about half of the glass. Aroma is toffee, toasted crusty white bread with lots of butter, lighter caramel, just a little grain and some earthy hops. Flavor is caramel, toasted bread, butter, toffee, planty hops and some earthy, and coffee notes to the finish. Palate is fairly thin and a little slich on entry with a neutral finish. Not bad, but I though it was a bit of a butter bomb, which wasn’t a good fit for me.

11/28/2008: Granite City Brother Benedict’s Bock is deep amber with a transparent appearance and a minimal head. There is caramel maltiness and a hint of roast in the aroma. The beer tastes malty and is a bit syrupy. There is a touch of citrus and roast throughout the finish. Not bad.
Draught (pint) at Granite City Food & Brewery in Maumee, Ohio. Rating #84 for this beer.

Jul 12, 2009 Tap at Brewfest 09. Good dust character, classic for the style. A bit of garbage. Pretty clean otherwise.

Jul 8, 2009 Meh. OK malt backbone on it, but there’s some strange flavors in the finish. I go with drinkable, but...
