Sep 18, 2008 750 I bought a ways back at the Vienna Virginia Whole Foods. That cork was a total bitch to get out. Pours orange with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is smoky and malty with notes of rye. Taste has some more smoke in it with some nice rye notes, tasty brew.

Sep 4, 2008 Bottle - 750mL corked and caged. 2007 bottle conditioned. Pretty dark copper pour with some magenta around the edges. Small, soft tan colored head. Spotty, delicate lacing on the glass. Aroma is rye, caramel, dark fruits, and sweet malts. Taste is also rye with big caramel, sweet, chewy malts, dark fruit flavors, some grass, and light spice. The body is medium but very bubbly and carbonated. Finishes with more chewy, sweet malts, lots of caramel, some chocolate, dark fruits and rye. Dark bready notes here as well. rather tasty, but I don’t know how well this would hold up as it aged.

Sep 1, 2008 Bottled.
Brown copper colour with off-white, cottony head. Pretty sweet aroma with somewhat complex aroma profile. There are almonds, canned fruits, hazelnuts and melon in the smell. Mouthfeel is pretty big but not all to sweet and sticky compared to some bocks. I notice a hoppiness, along with hazelnuts, bit of cinnamon and some unnamed spices, maybe clove and light pepper. The aftertaste is that of pepper and slight fennel or anise. It is pretty sweet, but not as sticky as mentioned before. This is an interesting interpretation of the style Dunkler Bock.

Aug 29, 2008 Updated: Sep 1, 2008(Bottle) The pour is deep mahogany/reddish brown with a pale nougat head. The aroma is of spicy rye and herbal hops with a creamy caramel malt backbone. The malt also brings notes of roasted nuts, milk chocolate and toasted dark bread. Undertones of dark fruits, dark cherries, clove, mild ginger, earthy cinnamon and light molasses. Something reminds me of citrus, quite strange for the style. The flavour is malty and spicy with tones of caramel, milk chocolate, roasted nuts, dark bread, ginger, cinnamon and clove. Some herbal hops and cherries with just a whisper of smoke. The mouthfeel is soft and creamy yet light sticky and light numbing (from the alcohol) with a smooth carbonation. Malty aftertaste. Medium sweet and light to medium bitter. Medium to full bodied.
