Jul 22, 2008 Bottle thanks to monger. Very dark brown pour, though still evidently transparent. Very thin gauzy light tan head. Notes of chocolate, not too much coffee on my taste buds; lots of sweet grainy malt. Caramel and toffee. A little ash. Just damn easy to drink. Surprisingly so considering the 7.3%. Well hidden. Tasty.

Jul 22, 2008 My buddy didn’t want any ’cause it’s a lager. But Bocks are different beasts. Yes, they are lagers. But they have full flavor and lots of malt. And this one does too. Well done.

Jul 22, 2008 Got this in a mixed pack of New Glarus beers. This is one of the better bocks I’ve had. Very malty nose with a hint of hops. Tan head that produced a lot of lacing as I finished the beer. Wish I could get this stuff all the time.

Jul 21, 2008 Aroma is very, very malty with some milk chocolate and slight roast/toast. This is some serious malt porn. Taste is dark caramel, toast, dark fruits, dark milk chocolate, a hint of roast. Beautiful dark red color with smallish tan head and lots of lacing and deposited foam. This is a really nice beer that is balanced and drinkable, but just a flat out munich malt showcase. I’m loving it, too bad I only have this bottle.

Jul 20, 2008 Tasted at the Carolina Crew gathering, Greenville - thanks to Facto for sharing! An extremely clean and well balanced bock, a bountiful nose fill with rich malts and some floral hops. Deep candied caramel blend with chocolate and toasted breads, lively mouthfeel. A surprise, one of the most deserving and acclaimed beers of the evening.

Jul 19, 2008 Aroma is like fruitcake with cocoa dusted on it. Pours dark brown with frothy tan head. Flavor is like a mocha latte with malted milk balls. Finishes smooth and velvety. Tasty.
