to get to this beer, and I live in east
Tennessee! This is a great low-carbonation
beer, best served around 40 degrees, when
the flavor really comes through. Wonderful
with dinner. StewardofGondor (1934), Washington Heights - Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Mar 22, 2005 Updated: Nov 7, 2005Rerate update: have this one at 60 degrees and it doesn’t get much better. The sweet caramel and chocolate malts headline the bill, with all other signiture bock characteristics and full mouth feel to seal the deal. Previously had this rated as a "4", but we’re bumping it up to where it deserves to be. Here are some notes from other tastings...
Aroma of sweet milk chocolate and brown sugar. Rich, smooth and very chocolatey flavor. A great body - a little oily and heavy on the palate. Can’t trace the 7.3% alcohol. Also have had before and after smoking a Cuban. It’s a great cigar beer. A solid bock. New Glarus knows how to do it right and continually makes world class beers. orville (160), Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, USA

This is a bold and pleasant beer, that has an intense chocolate flavor that’s perfect for long winter days. I seriously challenge any brewery to out do this bock. This towers over any American bock that I’ve had. Maybe because of my love of chocolate; come to think of it if you hate chocolate then steer away. LongShotRX (15), Barronett, Wisconsin, USA
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Jul 14, 2007 A truely great beer. Easy to find the taste of coffee and chocolate here. Pours very dark with a thick rich head. Warms you up and fills you up. Definatly not a beer for consuming in mass quantity. One of my favorite beers hands down. lagerman99 (66), USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 26, 2001 Just great stuff. Rather spicy and vinous with heavy yet graceful malts. SirQuackalot (10), USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Dec 12, 2001 A great bock, dark in color but low in carbonation. Tastes spicy with sweet, almost chocolaty undertones. jezmez68 (334), Chesterton, Indiana, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | May 22, 2009 This is an awesome example of the style. With an ABV of 7.3%, not sure if this should be a Doppel? Pretty close. It’s "big" in a sense that it ain’t Miller. Dark brown with some red hues. Sweet caramel and fruit notes coming through. muzzlehatch (4427), Burlington, Vermont, USA
| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 27, 2001 Spicy, strong nose on a beautiful ruby-red body; very assertive sweet, full-bodied bock flavor with a bit of caramel and holiday breads; end is a bit too hoppy, but this is still an almost-classic. WISCONSIN BEERS RULE! RERATING -- palate seems smoother, nose and flavor even stronger; yes, it seems more like a doppelbock; a great, great beer.
