Jul 9, 2006 750 ml bottle. Poured a clear, deep peachy garnet with a tall, well-retained looser beige head. Quite a bit of carbonation rising. Nose was quite rich and full of smoky caramel, spicy rye, and dark syrupy fruits. Flavor found a whole host of sweet malts as well... with dark fruits at the core... sweet caramel and molasses not far behind... and rye spiciness all around. Bitterness was lower and of a woody/herbal character. Medium-bodied. Carbonation was rather high. Finish carried through spicy dark fruits, and stuck around for a while. This was very good!

Jun 17, 2006 Pours a hazy red-tinted brown with a large tan head. The aroma is very malty and yeasty with a huge presence of caramel, mollases, raisins, and floral hops. There is also a hint of maple syrup, plum, and cinnamon bread. The rye is definitely noticable in the flavor, and it compliments the malt very well. The beer is sweet initially, but it has a nice crisp finish. There is a nutty and spicy aftertaste along with the hop bitterness. It reminds me a lot of multigrain bread. It’s also full-bodied, yet smooth and refreshing. Overall, this is a really good rye bock that is unique and fairly complex.

Jun 13, 2006 (05.02.06) One pint, 9.36 oz green bottle from DiCarlo’s, Mundelein, IL. 10th anniversary edition. Poured hazy dark brown amber with large long-lasting off-white head. Soft carbonation. Spice and sweet malt aroma. Medium-to-full bodied rye bock that starts with light malt sweetness and fruity/caramel/spicy/toasted malt flavors. Some sharpness (carbonation?) in the mouth. Finished with light malt fade and lingering hop bitterness. Very good drinkable beer, similar in flavor profile to a Belgium-style ale.

Jun 8, 2006 Hazy pur into my dimpled mug. Chocolate mahoganey that swarms with dissolved yeast culutre. Creamy wihte head shows the virtures of bottle-conditioning. Spicy on the nose, not all hops, some malt fruit and biscuity aromas. Toasted Rye bread perhaps?
Initially, it’s a little sweet on the opening sip. This quickly turns into a melange of grain bitterness and hop freshness. Even though this beer is bigger than the 7% it seems to creep up very fast, maybe it’s the rate mof consumption that aides this. Cool beer, even in the warm weather this will be a favorite.

May 22, 2006 Big thanks to Frumpty for sharing this beer at Jimmacks. 750 ml. Pours a dirty copper brown with a thin lasting white head. Aroma is earthy with some english style hops, rye malts, bready yeasts, and has a slight soapy aroma to it. Flavor is zesty and spicy with some fresh rye malts, bready, herbal, with a sharp yet enjoyable finish. Pretty smooth overall and unique.

May 19, 2006 Had a bomber of this after work this morning (after midnight - no I’m not a drunk...yet).
Nose of flowers, rye (duh!), maple syrup, dried fruit, and yeast. Initially very appealing.
Pours a clear amber almost copper. The brew pours with a gorgeous cascade which
becomes a GINORMOUS fully lasting stiff bone head that leaves good lacing. The brew
starts sweet, transcending into a tangy middle and a slightly bitter finish. Not a
session offering, but a nice change of pace to be sure. The light body is creamy and soft.
