Jan 21, 2007 Pours a clear reddish copper, with lively carbonation and an inch of nearly white sudsy foam. Okay head retention, no lacing. Malty aroma - bready and yeasty with a hint of cherry liquer.
The malt flavor is on the dry side, a little bit toasted, a little bit of sweetish grain. Slight earthy bitterness in the finish reminds me of cherry pit, oak tannin, and a subdued pine hop.
Medium body, very mild carbonation

Jan 19, 2007 Good--a touch bitter, but essentially an easy drinking amber. Doesn’t stack up to some of the truly great bock beers.

Jan 2, 2007 12 oz bottle. I had this several times back when it was brewed in Texas and remember it being pretty decent. Either my tastes have changed or the beer’s taste has. I suspect the latter. Poured a clear copper-orange color with a rapidly reducing off white head. Smelled decent enough, like a mixture of brown sugar, rum, and raisin. Horrible flavor, though. There was some hay, grassy hops, a touch of brown sugar, and fig. It was slightly sweet, but the delicate sweetness was overcome by a merciless astringent bitterness that lingered and lingered. Mouth feel was disappointingly thin and watery. Bleh.

Dec 25, 2006 Thin off-white head of sudsy bubbles. Light carbonation. Sweet caramel and brown sugar aroma. Almost like a caramel apple. Color is slightly hazy dark copper brown. Fizzy in the mouth. A little bit of sharp spicy bitterness. Medium to light palate. Light malts. Maybe even some tartness. Dry roasty finish with more spices and fizz. This is not a belgian ale. And this is not a very good beer.

Oct 22, 2006 Bottle. Pours amber with a frothy off white head. Aroma of bread, wet grains, and butter. Mouthfeel is a tad watery. Flavor of caramel, butter, rotten orange. Mild bitter finish with notes of soap and grape seeds. This was disappointing. Next.
