Dark orange color with a small, quickly dissipating head. Aroma like any good double bock, with sweet grains and dark fruit and brown sugar. Just a hint of rum. The rum barrel aging is definitely subtle, and the rum gets lost a bit competing with the strong tastes and sweetness of this beer. But overall the flavors work very well together. I just wish they had let it age in the barrels a month or two longer.

Nov 19, 2009 The nose has a load of odd rancidness. Softly sour and funky with a kiss of cherry but it doesn’t really work all that well for me.

Nov 1, 2009 Bomber shared by Pantanap. Thanks Kan! Sorry you left before someone opened this :( Pours a slight hazed honey copper with a thinning head. Aroma is sweet, honey, toffee, light green raisin, a bit of alcohol- rum burn, brown sugar, carapils sweetness and some moderate fruity esters. Flavor is a bit sharp with sweet rum, brown sugar, caramel, butterscotch, then turns a bit crackery malty, and some minimal hop bitterness- a bit slick. Seemed a bit one-dimensional and nothing really going on- if it didn’t say bock, you wouldn’t even know this was a lager.
