Apr 15, 2007 Clean and big nose with a soft touch of fruit and alcohol. Huge malt forward palate with big alcohol warmth. Slightly honeyed and again alcohoilic on the palate. Finishes with some mild belgian notes.

Sep 16, 2006 Draft at O’Brien’s. Adverted as HopTown Rattanfanger von Pleasanton Pale Bock. Very malty sweet aromas on this golden orange pour with very little head. Flavor was very malty and sweet. Very bock like. I liked it.

Sep 8, 2006 Tap, O’Brien’s. Pours an amber/ruby color. Sweet and malty aroma. Quite a bit of alcohol. A hint of roastiness. Pretty strong and a little unrefined

Sep 1, 2006 On tap at O’Briens. Arrived a clear medium brown color with a small biegey head. Aroma is sweet and fruity, with prunes, figs and hints of maple syrup. Flavor is also initally sweet and fruity, again figs and brown sugar, floral notes and a huge alcohol presence - a little too much for my tastes. Medium to full body and lightly prickly carbontion. Definitely fits the "Imperial" description for a bock.

Aug 23, 2006 Bomber hand bottled by Brewer/owner Dave Heist from his last keg! [Thanks Dave] poured a clear copper amber with a small lingering amber head. Aromas of fruit, sweet carmel, hints of toffee and some earthy notes. Palate was medium bodied and a bit syrupy but smooth. Flavors of apricot, apples, sweet carmel, a bit of earthiness and a touch of peach with a pleasent lingering sweet finish. I’m not much of a lager person but this one has a lot of flavor!
