Fairly impressed with this one. Most of the Sleeman catalogue is less than interesting. Aroma is caramel and sweet malt. Taste is crisp caramel with an earthy malt aftertaste. I’m actually glad I picked up a 6 of this. I’ll enjoy this again. There are better bocks out there but this is a very good one for the price.

Dec 26, 2009 Bottle. Has a clear and bright copper hue with a decent sized head that dissipates a bit quicker than I’d hoped. Aroma has the strong malt notes expected from the style, with a fair bit of caramel and toffee, and a light herbal edge thanks to the hops. Body is a touch light for the style, with a decent level of carbonation, making it a good palate-cleansing companion for food. The flavour starts sweet, with the caramel and toffee character suggested by the aroma, followed by a hint of orange and a moderately dry nuttiness. Herbal and slightly earthy hops are noticeable in the finish, but take a back seat to the hops. As with previous John Sleeman Presents beers, it ain’t the best example of its style that I’ve had, but it’s still a very respectable and quaffable beer.

Nov 20, 2009 Mild caramel and bready malts in the nose. Clear brown body topped by a low but lasting white head. Flavour offers caramel and bread-like malt characteristics with some light spicy hops especially in the aftertaste. Medium light body with moderate carbonation. Pretty innocuous, but at least somewhat suggestive of a bock. Tulip glass. Just above fridge temperature. Bottle purchased at the BCLS at Kingsgate in Nov-09.

Nov 20, 2009 Yeah. About as much a bock as their IPA is an IPA. Someone’s misreading this recipe book. It just tastes like any other Sleeman’s only sweeter.
