| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | 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.

On the palate, the flavors are harmoniously accompanied by toffee, macadamia nut brittle, juniper berries, and Pedro Ximenez sherry. Very fine beer.
