Pours mahogany with some floaties and a tan head. Smells of pronounced smoke, some caramel, breaddy, earthy. Tastes of smoke, some caramel, some rosey hints, lots of earthiness on the finish. Great beer! Maverick34 (716), New York, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jul 16, 2006 Brown with a small head. Aroma is smoked caramel. Taste is a nice balance of sweetness, smokiness and caramel. Thank god there is a decent hop bite or it would be a sickeningly sweet mess. The only knock is too much caramel to distract from a nice thick smoke taste. CaptainCougar (5520), Rockville, Maryland, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 24, 2006 Pours a transparent ruby mahogany with a nice, thin tan head. Sweet, smoky liquid caramel aroma has a nice authentic German bock yeast character. Starts with a sweet viscous dark caramel maltiness and lots of nice smoke notes with an authentic bock flavor. Very nice beer that reminds me a lot of Bells Batch 5000.
