| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 1, 2004 This bock poured a nice reddish brown out of the bottle and was a beautiful ruby color in the light. Decent whitish head without too much lacing. The initial aroma I get is a cidery ester, but it went away quickly replaced by a chocolatey malt aroma. The flavor is excellent, clean malty flavor starting with chocolate and coffee and moving to a distinct nuttiness as it warms up, reminding me of pistachios. Nice body and the carbonation seems to linger even as the beer warms up. You can’t even really notice the alcohol with this, I would have guessed around 6%. This is a great example of the style.

Flavor is malty. and carbonated, sweet malt, hops and a little bit of coffee. Palate is a little thing, but flavor is well definied, warming and complex. Prostman (1077), Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 18, 2004 Deep ruby red color with small off white head. Aroma is malty with lots of caramel, raisens, pretty sweet, very nice overall. Flavor is a bit of a let down after the aroma: it’s malty, sweet, a bit of caramel, but kind of thin overall. Still a very nice brew, with a great aroma.
