<i>bottled; thanks to fiulijn</i> - hazy reddish-amber colour with a fast disappearing foam; strong aroma of butterscotch; moderately sweet with a good malt body, some tartness and a touch of bitterness create a good balance; the finish is long with more buttery tones - original for a bock and pretty good

<i>Draught at the brewpub, 2007-07-20, 7-4-7-3-14=35, 5.8% ABV</i><br />Cloudy amber color. Delicate hop and malt aroma. Good mouthfeel, some malt flavor, caramel, too much carbonation. Strong final bitterness.<br /><br /><i>Draught at the brewpub, 2005-03-26, 8-4-7-3-14=36, 6.0% ABV</i><br />Beautiful amber color; creamy head. Very nice aroma, well hoppy, almost fruity (Fuggles or Goldings?). The body is a bit more structured than their lighter beers, with some sweetness, not enough malt, correct bitterness, caramel; not enough hop resins in the taste.
