May 11, 2009 A deep clear amber in color with a small but well retaining head. Aroma of alot of malt- molasses, brown sugar, some toasted malt, mild fruit, some nuts, some chocolate. Taste: mild chocolate, alot of molasses and toasty malt, brown sugar, somewhat nutty, hints of dark fruit, overall smooth with a light hop bitterness in the finish. Body is full and chewy.

May 10, 2009 Bottle. Poured an average, creamy, off-white head. Ruby in color with a very malty nose. Aromas of caramel, chocolate, prune and some toastiness. Sweet, malty flavors are complemented by a medium, somewhat creamy body. Average carbonation with a barely bitter finish. Overall a very enjoyable beer that I would definitely drink again.

May 10, 2009 Pours out a hazy light brown color with a moderate off white head, with moderate carbonation. Aroma of caramel malts, toasted malt and a nutty/earthy flavor. Taste is sweet malts, caramel, nut, toast, and a slight mild dried fruit flavor. Not bad, but not my style.

May 10, 2009 Not a terrible attempt, but really, this is far from a traditional bock. Way too much specialty grains in the grist, leading to a heavy dose of malt astringency. I wish I knew why American brewers (pro and home) were so heavy handed with specialty grains. /end rant.
