May 12, 2006 12oz bottle. Ruby and garnet hue. White head. Smokey and caramel nose. Earthy malty and chocolate. Slight anise and raisins. Medium bodied, and man is this smooth! Mouthfeel ramains rather constant until the Caramel kicks in, then the bitter hop finish. So I guess that it doesn’t remain rather constant, duh. Good coffee note, but there is this earthy, muddled flavor that I cannot put my finger on. After reading a few notes below, I came across "cardboard" (thanks El-Borracho) I hope that this doesn’t count as palgirism, I was just the flavor that was elluding me! And not much else.

May 9, 2006 A gift from bob at Rowland’s. Pours a ruby brown with a very large white head. Sweet caramel nose with strawberries, and toast, buttered toast. Tastes just like the aroma led me to believe: sweet caramel, a bit of fruit, more like wild berries than strawberries, and a biscuity flavor. A bit metallic on the back end, and has a husky flavor that comes out halfway through the glass. Not a bad bock.

Apr 5, 2006 Golden/coppery with thin streams of carbonation, topped with a thin, cream-colored skin. Light aromas of caramel and milk. Floral notes come out in the flavor amidst light sweetness and fruitiness. An overall weak offering.

Apr 4, 2006 Little about this jumps out and says "bock" to me. Nice orange color with a slight, off-white head. A toasted malt makes itself known in both nose and taste, but it’s only moderately sweet. A touch of juicy fruits. Kind of a rough palate. Little of any hop presence. Finishes on a slightly peppery, faintly caramel note. I need a beer. A bock! <font size=-4>Thanks to my The LoSBD colleague, <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=2 size=-1>

Mar 27, 2006 Bottle. Orange/amber pour with a thin head. Rye along with caramel and a slight sour note. Finishes with a cardboard staleness. Not so good.

Mar 27, 2006 Very sweet carmel malt flavor...notes of brown sugar, honey, and fruitiness. No apparent hop bite at all. Thin watery body. Pretty average.

Feb 22, 2006 (02.18.06) Sampled at FebFest ’06, Libertyville, IL. Served from a 12 oz brown bottle. Pours clear amber with small off-white head. No discernable carbonation. Caramel and toasted malt aromas. Medium-to-full bodied bock with moderate malt sweetness and toffee/toasted malt flavors. Finishes with toasty malt fade. No perceptible hop presence. Very smooth and malty in mouth. Malty flavor that strongly resembles Big Sky’s Moose Drool brown ale which I really enjoyed. A luscious malty bock.

Oct 19, 2005 Updated: Apr 2, 2007I recently had this agian form a bottle at a bar. I gave it the exact same rating. Dark amber and ruby colored body. The head is a light yellowish white. The aroma has fresh bread and some green beans. There is also a hintof caramel. The taste has sweet caramel and some decent roasted green beans. There is also a hint of toffee in the finish. The bosy is thin. This is a decent bock.
