Apr 16, 2009 On tap at the Brick Store in Decatur.
Pours a light tea-like brown with a small tan head that recedes quickly and leaves traces of lacing. The aroma is dominated by the caramelized malts and fairly sweet with hints of a toasted character and spices in the back. The taste follows the aroma with caramel malts and a bit more sugary sweetness. The mouthfeel is light to medium for the style with decent carbonation. This is a very good bock and certainly original in the brewing process.

Mar 31, 2009 Tap at Spuyten Duyvil: Hazy deep amber pour with a light tan ring of head. Unique aroma- mineraly, raisiny, earthy, a touch of sweet & subtle smokiness. Creamy & velvety on the palate. Rich flavor- sweet, yet soft- some raisiny notes and deep caramelized sweetness. There’s an underlying mineral character. Despite the fruity notes it’s clean in its richness. More toasted malt characteristics as it warms. A very nice Heller Bock.

Mar 29, 2009 Tap at Spuyten Duyvil. Deep brown beer with a thin white head. Aroma is a little bit chewy. Some nice toasted caramelly character. There is a bit of nice chewy/toasty sweetness. Lightly raisiny with a kiss fruitiness as well. The malts are slightly minerally but still chewy. Fairly sweet mid-palate but it finishes dryer than I would have imagined. Pretty solid brew.

Mar 25, 2009 Draft at SD. Pours mahogany body with a tan head. Sweet chewy caramalized malt, hints of cane sugar, unrefined sugars and a chewy caramel. Plum and a light roasted bitterness. A hint of syrup and grain with a lightly nutty caramel note. Decent.

Mar 24, 2009 Tap at Spuyten. Pours a deep ruby clear with a thin head which dissipates a bit. Aroma is some dark fruits, tons of big toasted and caramelized malts, toffee, some brown sugar, thick molasses. Flavor is light ly nutty, light to modest fruits, hints of earth, tons of caramelized and sweet malts, syrupy, sharp caramel, dark burnt toast, hints of herbs as it warms. Starts really smooth and easy to drink, then gets a bit messy, slightly harsh, a bit phenolic and slight cheesy/fatty. Still pretty good and interesting for about half a glass.

Mar 15, 2009 On tap at the Bavarian Lodge, Lisle, IL., served in a stem glass. The pour was a mahogany color with a foamy, light tan head that diminished at a fair pace, and left some streaky, but clinging lace. The aroma was immediately sweet with a moderate malt nose and caramel. The flavor identified these notes more as malt, caramel and the sweetness of dark fruit and brown sugar. The texture was a little syrupy, but all in all, a very flavorful bock.
