Oct 2, 2006 33 cl bottle. No yeast at the bottom. Reddish brown colour with a weak head. Sweet malty aroma with notes of caramel. Very tasty and clean flavour of sweet malt, fruit, caramel and alcohol. Ends up sweet and little dry.

Oct 1, 2006 I have had several mediocre bocks beers recently, so I am especially looking forward to trying this one... Deep mahogany/chesnut color. Lively carbonation, but no lasting head or crown, not even the slightest hint of a veil. Aroma is malt, toffee, something fruity, and slightly earthy. This beer is complex and full of flavors, including alcohol, wood, raisins, chocolate toffee, and English walnut. A slight sweet and chewy caramel bitterness stays in the back of the throat after the finish. Medium body.
This was an excellent bock and exactly what I needed! It is quite complex and very enjoyable to savor.
.33 L bottle (Best before 1522892), $3.73 from River’s Bend.

Oct 1, 2006 Dark mahogany colour with a pale tan head. Notes of chocolate and burned caramel. On the palate, the flavors are harmoniously accompanied by toffee, macadamia nut brittle, juniper berries, and Pedro Ximenez sherry. Very fine beer.

Sep 29, 2006 Brilliant clear copper with a brown head, poor retention. Reasonably soft aroma of alcohol, toffee and oak. The flavour is very strong, alcohol, oak, whiskey and brown sugar. Very very alcoholic but amazingly smooth. The carbonation is perfectly light. The finish is warming and sweet. A definite sipper.

Sep 25, 2006 This is a sweet bottle. Aroma was a chocolate, sweetness, and some fruitiness. Flavor was similar and maybe a little nutty and tasted a little hot. I dont know what it is but i have never been a fan of any european bocks, they just have some taste i do not enjoy that much.

Sep 22, 2006 Bottle. Pours dark caramel/ruby with nearly no head. Aroma is sweet, mainly of caramel and a hint of dark fruits, with a strong undertone of soy sauce. Flavor is similar, a bit more complex and less sweet, but still with the soy-sauce element. I would drink this again, but the soy sauce part really is kind of distracting in my opinion. Given the other reviews, I’m not sure if I got a bad bottle or my tastes are just unusual.

Sep 21, 2006 Updated: Dec 24, 2007Prominent earthy nose of port, raisen,wood and figs. Delicious taste of cherries, plums and currants. The strong alcohol content does not get in the way of the toffee and caramel notes from the malt. Excellent balance and complexity. Smooth palate. I love just smelling this stuff!
