| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 19, 2007 Pours a dark red maroon, almost glowing, with a small off brown head which hugs the sides of the glass. Smells of rich, sweet malts, alot of dark fruit, berries, grapes, and a little apple. The taste is very fruity, with a syrupy mouthfeel, rich malts, with a hint of some cinnamon too. The caramel is big in the finish, which turns into sweet fruit. Much is the same in the aftertaste. Killer brew. shigadeyo (2263), Harrison, Ohio, USA

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.

Pours a clear dark reddish brown with a massive beige head. Mellow aroma has notes of vanilla, toffee, plums, hazlenuts and some alcohol. Wow this is sweet. Flavor is mostly fruity....stawberries, cantelop melon, peach, and an alcohol kick at the end..a nice kick though without the burn. Worldclass beer.Extra points for the cool label design. carruthm (1141), Seattle, Washington, USA
