May 28, 2009 Bottle thanks to the bosses, had at home. Aroma is fairly minimal, brown ale malts, a bit grainy and a fruity light sharp bittersweet almondness. Taste is grainy brown malts, bit minerally, earthy hop, herbal and bittering in the finish. Not my style of beer.

Feb 25, 2009 Pours a transparent copper amber with a thin, wispy-lacing off-white head. Aroma of sweet toasty caramel malt and some noble hops with a touch of lager yeast character. Starts with average fullness and mild caramely malty notes drying out toward a clean finish. Pretty drinkable, but could be a little more fuller flavored.

Jan 14, 2009 Handsome pour from the bottle, a deep caramel/amber body with a tall, sustained light tan head and loads of lacing. The aroma is sweet and malty with a splash of caramel and some burnt chocolate. The flavor is like chocolate chip cookie dough with a dash of caramel and a light earthy bitterness. Not bad. Purchased at Wise Guys in Merrillville, IN.

Dec 22, 2008 Copper to umber in color with a taller beige head, fairly lasting and some decent lace 3+. Caramel and lightly toasted malt scent. Not as big of a malty scent as I would like, but not artificial like many a bock out there. Light caramel start that leads to a bit to toasted malt. Hints of floral hops and a touch of grapefruit zest. Noble hops would be nicer, but there is a decent balance. Finishes with the citrus and the linger does lead to a munich malt. Palate is a touch light and prickly. The linger has a lot of character that saves this one from being just another dark lager with some caramel color/flavor.

Mar 6, 2009 Bottle from Keg Liquor.
Poured clear deep brown with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate complex toasted sweet malty aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Moderate balanced malty sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of moderate duration.
Good drinkable brew.
