pobenohne (504), Northern Liberties, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 2, 2005 Found this on draft in Calistoga. Not sure if it was mislabeled or if there happend to be an old keg around. A big american pale ale, dark copper, great lacing, but a bitter and harsh finish. grat (433), ST. Louis, Missouri, USA Jul 3, 2004 the only ting this brew lacked was a refined mouthfeel otherwise wowo!!!!!!!. Pours a lovely dark brown color. Wtery looking with a nice head that slowly dies off. I love this brewery. Nose is of chocolate, mulled spices, cinanamon, and chocolate chocolate chocolate with a good dose of califronia style hops. Flavors are much the same only dominated by the chocolate an dthe hops. The only way I can knock this brew is to say that it is slightly watery and could have used a bit more malt to make it a bit thicker.
G-rat Pjones6738 (500), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Oct 29, 2003 Aged for about a year: Deep red, slightly cloudy. Head is abundant and thick as could be. It's not dissappearing at all. Any head that you can write in is impressive. Chocolate and nuts in the aroma. Dark chocolate is the first flavor I pick up. Slightly vinous as it warms, also picking up a bread/cookie flavor. Slight acidic finish. Good, good stuff. Great_Stelle (355), Chico, California, USA Jun 25, 2003 To be fare I'm not a bock person. This one was to malty for my palate. legion242 (1520), Richardson, Texas, USA May 1, 2003 At last, a bock that does slam you upsode the head with swwetnes or alcohol. A moderate amount of malt with a good crispness.
