Transparent dark brown pour with thick off-white head and drippy lace. Roast aroma. Slightly over carbonated, which is probably due to fact that I have been sitting on this for a long time. Caramel, roast, and fruit. Clove on the finish

Nice dark tan pour with heavy head. Aroma of hops hits the nose and is in the flavor as well. Slight alcohol burn in the mouth, but smooth flavor of roasted grain.

Poured a dark brown with a big light tan head. Aroma is of caramel, mild chcolate, and maltiness. Flavor is pretty strong, lots of malts and some creamy caramel and some dark fruiots in there as well. not too bad.

500ml bottle served in a weizen glass. Tons of carbonation, massive head. I had to wait for it to settle to fill the glass. Poured a dark amber. Pretty restrained aroma of clove and some malt. I got a slightly metallic note that wasn’t pleasant. Medium bodied with a decent malt backbone. A bit of spice in the finish. I was pretty disappointed with this. I’m a big bock fan, and I was really looking forward to trying this. It just seemed very bland.
