Dark amber brwon colored with a thin frothy head. Aroma of an American standard with more malt and some roasted notes. Thick with a sweet caramel palate and an earthy finish, like freshly mowed grass. Pretty complex and very smooth, fulfilling, and drinkable. One of Lakefront's best that I've had.

12oz bottle. Poured a deeper orangish / copper color with small sized off whtie head. Aromas of nuts, toffee, caramel, and some dark fruits. Tastes of dark fruits, toffee, lighter nuttiness, and a little bready.

12/10/01 Bottled, first try. Beautiful tawny red/brown, thick body with a lovely meringuelike head; typically strong aroma from this brewer, heavily malty with notes of figs and pie spices. Flavor is just a bit of a letdown, too dominated by alcohol (this goes down more like a doppel, I’d guess an ABV of 7% or more), but with a thick mouthfeel and oaky smoky taste, which dominates the wonderful ending, as scotch-like and strong as you’ll find in an American bock. Superb; reminiscent of Spaten Opt more than anything else, and another fine example from America’s best unknown brewery.

2nd rating, April 1. After 5 more months, this brew is starting to lose its head more quickly, and seems to be taking on more wine-like qualities. I’m liking the flavor more and more; some serious caramel and toffee, candied fruit; mmm reminds me almost of their Barley Wine. I’m ready to put this just about at the level of Celebrator...

Caramel colored with a dinkus off-white head, this has an aroma of sweet tasty malts and a bit of sourness. The flavor of dark dried fruit is added to the taste and a touch of earthy hop bitterness joins in near the finish, and it’s a dry finish at that. Okay.

A good bock. A dark amber appearance. Good caramel malt flavors with just a touch of toastiness.
