| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Feb 23, 2009 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. ericandersnavy (1140), crossroads, Texas, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 4, 2009 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. KimJohansen (7149), Copenhagen V, Denmark
