Appearance is a dark black with hues of ruby red. Head size and retention are both excellent. The flavor is a mild combination of dark chocolate, caramel malt, and vanilla. asheft (1437), Marburg, Germany
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Feb 11, 2006 [bottle from a trade with tiggmtl--thanks, man]
Dark coca-cola with tan wisps and a bubbly ring. Roasty dark grain aroma like warm rye bread with caraway seeds plus some subtle hops and sherry. Dark malty bock flavour: pumpernickel, sweet cereal grains, chocolate coming in late with some coffee and gentle hops bitterness. Smooth, roasty finish. Probably a bit too sweet (either they need more bittering or less residual sugar). Medium to full body with moderate carbonation and a sweet finish. GreatLibations (1447), Last Supper, Arizona, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 5/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 10, 2006 Updated: Feb 4, 2007Pours a dark coffee brown color w/ slight malt on the nose. Nectar weight is medium bodied. I suspected it would have been much more full. It’s a very rich brew with a defined cocoa character. Big on the dark flavors. Not as sweet as I imagined either. The finish is dry with a touch of celery. I can’t stand that celery stain that some stouts leave on the finish, a total turnoff. Overall I’m not impressed. bu11zeye (5545), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 6, 2006 (750ml bottle) Pours a mahogany body with a moderate beige head. Aroma of toasted marshmellows, cocoa, vanilla, and caramel. Falvor of toasted malt, cocoa, vanilla, and lactos. TheEnemy (422), Chicago, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 4, 2006 750ml bottle. Pours deep dark brown with medium fluffy tan head that rapidy subsides and leaves bits of lace. Fantastic cocoa and chocolate malt aroma. If only the flavor followed suit. Instead it was grainy with artificial-tasting cloyingly sweet chocolate, almost as though someone took a malt liquor and added Nestle Chocolate powder. Creamy but somewhat lifeless palate. BBC swings for the fences and settles for a double. NachlamSie (1643), Tennessee, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 1, 2006 bottle. This bock is a very deep mahogany-appears basically to be off-black. The aroma is of chocolate, cola, small spices. The mouth begins with some soy sauce, a bit of wheat, then quickly fades to intense milk chocolate. This turned out to be an enjoyable dessert.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Jan 30, 2006 Pours black like an imperial stout. Off-white head disperses into a multi-sized bubble layer on top of the glass. Aroma is not objectionable, but not very pronounced. Flavor of chocolate is immediate, but not overpowering, yielding to a slight malty aftertaste. Mouthfeel is biting initially due to the carbonation and somewhat thin (especially for a bock). The chocolate is very appealing, but I’m not sure I’d want to spend an evening drinking this. Overall, kinda pricey ($15.99/25.4 oz bottle). OhioDad (2491), Hilliard, Ohio, USA
