| 2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/20 | Apr 27, 2008 Pours reddish brown (not black) with faint head. Strong malty aroma, and flavor. First sip is interesting (in a good way) - as it’s very malty. Every subsequent sip you get more and more sick of drinking it. (My father actually got the shivers (in a bad way) after each drink... but kudos to him for finishing it!. badgerben (3599), Blaine, Minnesota, USA

Very dry grain and dried apple taste. A bit of roasty malt towards the finish. Skyview (4045), Papoose Jct., Minnesota, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 6, 2008 Picked up a six-pack from the brewery/home brewer’s supply store in Plover, Wisconsin as soon as the word this seasonal beer was available. Pours a semi-hazy caramel amber brew with an average creamy off-white head that quickly dissipates to a fine film and off-white ring. Minimal lacing after the dissolve. Aroma of toasted biscuit-like malt, some Belgian yeast and apple character with a touch of toffee and a hint of white chocolate. Taste is medium bodied with a good balance of carbonation with flavors of powdery biscuit malt, a little apple and some flowery hops. Finish is semi-dry with a powdery/chalky biscuit aftertaste with a touch of apple sauce. An unique dunkler bock with a touch of Belgian character.
