May 19, 2005 Nice clear copper with a thick off-white head. Aroma of floral hops, grain, some grass, caramel and smoke. Flavor has notes of toasted grain, toffee, caramel, dark fruits, a good dose of hops with a nice backdrop of smoke. Pleasantly sweet, some bitterness in there too. Medium, silky smooth body with subtle carbonation - coats the mouth very nicely. Great head retention. A multi-dimensional brew, I recommend it.

May 16, 2005 Light pleasant nose, tawny pale brown, tall fluffy head. Sweet caramelly malt taste and aroma. A celery-like flavor in the middle with an oaky drying finsih. Medium body, creamy mouth feel. Good, classy beer.

May 14, 2005 Very good. Metallic aroma at first pour was off-puting, but I say that about a lot of German lagers. Tastes like an extra thick oktoberfest, with less bittering hops. Fine, fine lager overall.

May 14, 2005 Medium frothy head - medium lasting. Nice copper color, medium carbonation. Band aid medium malt nose. Kind of veggie taste first, followed a nice mellow malt tones and some wooden ones too. Oily in texture.

May 10, 2005 Good cross behind double bock and amber. Malty aroma from the get go. Malty but not overwhelming. Clean finish no aftertaste. Wish the actual hofbrauhouse served this beer regularly

May 9, 2005 Very malty, a bit sweet, but overall a good beer. Nice copper color, good head. I couldn’t detect much of an alcohol bite, that was nice for me. Will drink again.

May 6, 2005 Copper amber color. Medium to large sized head. Aroma is caramel, toffee and sweet. A medium bodied bock. Malts are fairly sweet, lots of toffee and caramel flavors. Fairly complex malt flavors. Touch of an alcohol bite. Smooth taste. Nice bock, there is a lot of different malt flavors going on here. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly sweet with a touch of malt.

May 2, 2005 Updated: May 3, 2005I’m surprised at the low score also. I really enjoyed it. Poured light amber with a thin whte head. Aroma had gin and tonic, caramel malts, brown sugar, honey and cider. Taste is very pleasant with a good cider and gin and tonic feel throughout. Very nicely done.
