Jan 20, 2008 Another recovered rating from the cabin up north... Pours light brown with minimal head. Earthy aroma mixed with spice and sugar. Flavor is citrusy hop with a dose of caramel sweet.

Jul 13, 2004 Bottled.Average sized frothy ecru colored head that tried to stick around but eventually fell to a thin layer; some spotty lacing remained. Nice malty aroma redolent of toasted grain and some brown sugar along with a bit of citrusy hops. Flavor upfront was of sweet caramel malt that carried through to mid-palate where a toasted grain-slightly burnt pastry crust character emerged. Hop character also emerged mid-palate; the hop flavor faded by the finish and only the bitterness remained long into the aftertaste. Palate seemed light bodied and somewhat watery. Refreshing and drinkable enough but I’m not so sure about the burnt pastry crust note and the seemingly watered down feel of this bock. I would still accept one though if offered. Thanks Slikwily!

Apr 17, 2004 Clear coppery color
Firm, bubbly, off-white head, if a bit brief.
Aroma: fresh, zesty, grassy, clean, herbal, vegetal, and sweet.
Spicy, traces of toffee, subtle alcohol, a bit medicinal, with a turbulent sweetness.
On the palate, a syrupy sweetness up front. A good, gripping, tasty body and texture. Nice taste, medium body, good, sweet finish. Dries up quick, though.
Caramelly sweetness rides through.
A decent, but unremarkable bock.

Mar 25, 2004 Deep copper/amber colour. Mild malty aroma with a slight hoppiness. Flavour is mild and pleasant too but not particularly interesting. A very drinkable bock (actually I wouldn't mind having quite a few of these)...

Dec 25, 2003 Aroma of malt. Light brown with no head. Flavor...I could swear this is Sam Adams. Does calling it a bock make it a bock? I say no.

Sep 18, 2003 Decent caramel, and chocolate flavor. Mild and sweet body with good bock profile. Smooth and very drinkable.

Jul 29, 2003 Not a bad Bock. Thanks Slikwily. Orangish, brown. Malts & hops mix well in the aroma. Flavor is pretty sweet. The finish is dry and somewhat sour.
Aurelius (2643), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
Jul 29, 2003 Voluminous, seafoam head, PA colored brew, acid-flashback cowboy label. Very lagered maltfunki aroma. Some acidic caramel malt twang without much else going on. Medium-light sweetness. Twangy, cidery, long acidic finish. Needs help.
