Jan 24, 2009 Dark brown color with light head. Sweet aroma of dark fruits, chocolate and some spices. Taste is a strange sweet, sour, & spicy mix that was OK. Thanks for the trade JB.

Dec 1, 2005 Penn St. Nikolaus Bock Bier.
1 December 2005.
Bottle.
Pour produces a tiny-bubbled head that dissipates bit stays. Aroma is of toffee, sweet malt and raisins. Flavors continue to be heavily influenced by toffee, but become overly sweet as the beer warms.
I like this, and like nearly all of Penn’s lineup, it is good but not stellar. A little more balance and a little less sweetness would be a start.

Sep 4, 2006 A dark brown beer with a fast disappearing dark beige head. The aroma is sweet and very malty, but also with strong notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of straw and hints of alcohol.

Feb 23, 2007 Poured from a well-chilled 12 oz bottle. Deep brown or crimson with a bare whisper of a off-white foamy head that virtually disappeared after 10 seconds. Aroma? Not much ... a virtual whimper to the olfactory senses ... roasted barley, maybe a slight swirl of fresh pine. Thankfully, the flavor is more entertaining ... moderately robust with some dark cherry, bitter chocolate, and a bitter finish. Good. (#2724, 2/23/2007)

Feb 13, 2004 The head was a light tan and a bit creamy. Aroma at first reminded me of spicy apples. Then it was just spicy. The body was a very dark ruby red. The flavor was spicy, a little sweet and felt warm. At first this beer tasted great, but quickly I was desiring something else.

Dec 4, 2007 Bottle. Pour is a dark brown with a medium head that dies back quickly. Aromas are weak... of malt, maybe a touch of peat, dark fruit and chocolate, but not very interesting. Flavor is fairly heavy on the chocolate malt, but a fairly light and sweet chocolate. The sweetness dominates most of the flavors as it transitions into a somewhat earthy/woody finish. Fairly well constructed, but nothing that really shines out to let you feel like you’ve had something remarkable.
