| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Mar 12, 2005 Pours a dark copper ruby with a thin lightly lacing off-white head. Has a soft grainy malty aroma with a touch of lager yeast. Sweet malty caramel body has some sticky noble green hoppiness and a touch of lager yeast with a dry filling finish. I don’t know what it is, but for its style it’s way too filling. I had trouble finishing the whole pint. It’s nice to see Atlanta Brewing coming out with some new stuff though. heemer77 (4311), Savannah, Missouri, USA

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 20, 2005 From a growler @ Noogfest 05. Brownish red copper, minimal head.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jun 23, 2005 Pours with a deep amber body topped by a medium thick head with some lacing. It’s slighty sweet and malty with a nice caramel note and an underlying hoppy bitterness. Medium bodied, smooth and slighlty dry. aracauna (2391), Georgia, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 13, 2005 The body is a dark reddish brown with a nice head that laces. The liquid is a bit sticky and it follows with the sweet malty body. This is an extremely rich bock, as heavy-bodied and rich as a stout. But the brewery doesn’t claim it to be a good example of the style, but a local take on the style, so you can take points off for that. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed it and think it the best thing they’ve brewed so far, but I haven’t had the amped up Winter Ale yet either.
