Bottle brewed 1/20/2009, just released.. Pours with a sparse, frothy, khaki head over a clear bronze body. Minimal lace, passable retention. Rotten nutty aroma with a lot of fruits behind it, toasted grain and soggy toast as well. A bit of light toffee too. Taste is toffee and grainy, with an actually pleasant alcoholic bite to it. Very cereal like, with fruity notes left on the palate by the alcohol. Water like mouthfeel, thinnish, a bit over carbonated and alcohol evident.

On tap at BJ’s Brewhouse in Plano, TX. Pours a very nice looking clear brown/copper with off-white head. Aroma of burnt caramel and nutty, some toast. Flavor is somewhat sweet, burnt caramel, toast, nutty, with some dark fruit. Mouthfeel is medium body with high carbonation. Over all, pretty good stuff!

Appearance: Pours a clear, amberish body with a small, bubbly, white head. Smell: Sweet-smelling nutty, bready maltiness with a tiny hint of fruit and even tinier hint of spicy Noble hops. Taste: Sweet candyish caramel tastes that’s marginally bready and nutty. Light fruitiness. Very slight spicy hop character with only a small bit of bitterness, leaving you with a fairly sweet brew. Even with a touch of drying alcohol sneaking into the finish you’re still left with a lingering sweetness. Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Slight stickiness to the mouthfeel. Drinkability: Reasonably decent on the drinkability though the sweetness would keep me from simply pounding them down, but, yeah, it’s a good bock, overall.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of bread and medium notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and bread, leading to a dry and bitter finish where notes of straw lingers. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of MaltOMeal. Slightly hazy amber golden with a small, rough off-white head. Intensely sweet malt aroma with a whiff of overripe fruit and caramel. Quite full-bodied, very solid malt base, some caramel and overripe fruit but also detergents. Finishes dry with some alcohol present. 201008
