Feb 27, 2005 Poured a rich dark reddish brown with a quickly subsiding laced head. Nice roasty aroma. The flavor is syrupy sweet, caramel and roasty.

Feb 24, 2005 Pours deep reddish brown. Flavor is sweet caramel malts with some roasts with a little chocolate and mild grassy hops. There is also an undelying fruity flavor of raisins and cherries(perhaps), which didn’t work for me. But overall not bad.

Feb 20, 2005 Clear brown body, generous fluffy tan head. Light caramel and grain in the aroma. The flavor is nice with its cocoa and caramel malts and light grassy hops. Good palalte. Heemer gave me this beer and I appreciate it.

Jan 19, 2005 Clear, bright ruby/ near brown color, good slab of cocoa-toned foam standing above, slowly thinning.
Chocolatey nose, roasty, hints of espresso and anise.
taste begins fruity, cherries and dates, then gets a little bitter and gritty, roasty,nutty, and it ends about there. Mouthfeel is medium, finish is brief and still chocolatey. A bit fizzy, and a bit more bland. Sorry, to say, ....it’s not bad at all, just lacking what we’d really like from a bock. Flavor just leaves a lot to be desired. could be a lot tastier, more rich, full, maltiness is in order.

Jan 4, 2005 Pours a reddish-chocolatey brown. Fizzy and off-white head. Smells of roasted malt, sweet and earthy. Taste is lighter than expected, crisp, toasted, malty and sweet chocolate. Finish is soothing. Not all that remarkable, but a decent beer nonetheless.

Jan 1, 2005 Bottle via Heemer, Thanks!: Chestnut hue with a nice lasting frothy tan head and good lace. The aroma has notes of carmel, chalky and dusty yeast esters, floral and grassy hops, applesauce, and allspice. The taste starts with a mild sweetness on top of a twangy bitter undretone. Very earthy and grassy notes throughout. Some nutty and grapefruit character towards the fading finish. The feel is lively and crisp, very un-bock like really. Yep, quaffable and refreshing just not full of depth. Enough qualities to try one on.

Dec 29, 2004 Updated: Jan 7, 2005I don’t normally like the bock style, but this was pleasing to me. It was milder in style than normal. I noticed a bit of hoppiness. I could drink a lot of this in one day because it wasn’t overpowering and was very enjoyable. I had this on tap at the brewery. I may be over-rating it compared to others because of that.
I recently had a chance to re-rate this... The appearance is a honey caramel head. It is very effervescent. The beer is a rich red/brown color. Very pleasing to look at. The aroma is of chocolate and coffee. Well balanced with a bit of hoppiness. Strong at first but went away too quickly. Also, I noticed a hint of vanilla. The palate had a thick mouthfeel and was not sticky sweet. It is well carbonated. The flavor is of chocolate, vanilla, and mild grassy hop. A tad sweeter would be nice. Slight bitterness.

Dec 27, 2004 Pours a transparent dark ruby brown with a thin light tan head. Aroma is dominated by milk chocolate, lager yeast, and a touch of German hops. Starts with sugary caramel malty sweetness revealing a touch of lactose and chocolate toward the finish. Fairly well balanced and quite drinkable. Thanks to heemer77 for this fine Iowa brew!
