Jul 19, 2009 The folks at my local Rock Bottom in King of Prussia, PA call this a maibock, but I guess a dunkler bock will do. Maibocks used to be one of my favorite styles, before I discovered the joys that are IPAs. This beer pours a brown color with a bit of an orange hue. The head is off-white with good lacing. The nose is full of sweet malts, bread, yeast and earth. The flavors are extremely malty and rich. The finish leaves a smooth, almost creamy-like tone. This bock beer is done very well.

Jan 2, 2006 Updated: Sep 16, 2007The Rock Bottom set of reviews is a reflection of my hasty attempt to drink a small quantity of many beers and produce accurate and helpful reviews. Clearly I’ve failed, but I hope my incoherent and cryptic critiques can help at least a few folks who wander in and want to know what to order.
Before the look, nose and taste can even be considered, I have to laud the folks at Rock Bottom for a great name. Even if the Goat Toppler tastes like a Turkish bath house, I could spend hours daydreaming of clumsy, inebriated goats, which is better entertainment than any show on television. The raging booziness of the Goat Toppler glows a semi-cloudy blend of oranges and reds, and reeks of hard liquor like a flavored Bacardi rum. Thankfully the taste is nothing like the smell, showing off a prominent banana flavor with a lace of green apples. Sadly, the high alcohol content cloys an otherwise skillfully concocted brew. At least the name is immutably cool.

Jun 7, 2003 Golden color beneath a thin white head. A nice malty nose, well balanced with a crisp bitter finish. A pretty good bock.
