Aug 9, 2006 This has a handsome pour, a clear, reddish brown with an initially large tan head. Trouble is (besides the head disappearing so rapidly), it’s so watery that it detracts from both aroma and flavor. There’s a sweet caramel nose and mouth in here, but it’s so tremendously diluted that it fails to leave much of an impression. Disappointing. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp? Tuck Wines, Sprirts, & Beverages, Bloomington, IL<font size=-1>

Aug 4, 2006 Pours a deep amber with a minimal head. Has a nice sweet maltish aroma. Taste is of mild malts. Seems like it got a little hoppier towards the end. Probably not a true bock but was still pretty good.

Aug 3, 2006 Light brown color. Lots of caramel in the nose. Fairly light on the tongue. Flavors of caramel and corn? come through prominantly. Not much more than a typical bock beer here, not that there is much that can be done in the style.

Jul 27, 2006 Pours a clear dark bronze copper with a large, frothy, thin-lacing tannish head. Aroma of lightly toasty caramel malts and a touch of German hops and lager yeast. Body starts with a mild light sweetness, some bittering noble hops and an authentic bittersweet finish. A decent bock but might be a tad too bitter for the style.

Jul 22, 2006 Bottled. Poured a clear garnet/amber with a medium cap of off-white head. The nose was full of artificial sweetener and caramel... maybe a little toffee and floral, but not much. The flavor was sweet, too.. some caramel, some toffee, but very artificial feeling. Light-bodied and slicker on the palate with a tacky finish. Not very good.

Jul 20, 2006 Clear reddish brown in colour, with a moka quickly dissipating head. Sweet caramel with hints of oxidation, and fruits, like prunes or plums. In mouth, a sweet malt with nutty notes, no hops, a bit harsh in aftertaste. Rather light bodied. Bottle from Piscator, merci Kris!

Jul 15, 2006 12oz bottle: I am not detecting this as a bock... perhaps a weak brown ale.. but it just doesn’t taste like a bock. I will pass on this if I see it again, I recommend trying some of Schell’s other better beers instead.

Jun 15, 2006 Aroma alerts that there are not enough hops. Flavor is sweet caramel malt, did I mention sweet! A little rough on the finish as has an off aftertaste. If you like sweet underhopped beers.
