| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 8, 2008 Drank from a bottle, so just gave it a "3" for appearance. Slight caramel aroma. Smooth, malty taste with some hops, some caramel. Goes down well, and was surprised that a 7.5% alcohol content would go down so easy. Nice bock. kwoeltje (1334), Manchester, Missouri, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 11, 2008 Pours clear golden, without much fanfare. Then the head goes to 2 inches, and then nothing in 1 minute. Very little bubbling. No lacing. Smells like malt, hay straw, earthen. Flavor is good, like a darker lager. There’s no clue it’s 7.5% i was thinking 4.5-5.5. Flavors include Smooth flavorful malt, slight caramel, mineral, and sweetness. Well balanced. Full finish. Easy to drink.
