I was hoping for more with this... It comes off a little too watery, both in consistancy and taste. While not terrible, it really seems to be lacking something compared to other Bocks I’ve had.

A very bubbly carbonated flavor, like mineral water, with some good champagne notes in the background. A good bock sweetness in the finish. Bigsky66 (148), Eau Claire, Wisconsin, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 4, 2005 Sweet and caramely. Light hops with a dry finish. Has little spice at the end but nothing else. Flavor is very weak in this one. Yuhasz (23), USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Mar 24, 2005 Color is dark orange. Head starts out ok but ends up looking like sea foam on Lake Erie. Aroma is extremely malty, not much caramel. Flavor does hold a high level of caramel though; mixing with the malts leads to a strong element of fruit flavored bubble gum. The finish is more malt than caramel and also contains a good level of hop bitterness. Rather watery on the palate but overall it’s a good beer.

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 20, 2005 Pours weak and thin, but makes up for it with a smooth drinkability. Aroma is slightly spicy, but not pronounced enough to have much of an effect. The caramel makes itself known initially, then backs off so the malt can take over. Finishes with a light tinge hops. A very approachable style, despite the "caramel bock" tag (most swill drinkers would probably believe this to be a "heavy" beer.) Nice brew; would love another one.

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Feb 22, 2005 tulip / mmm, caramel dipped gym aroma. (is that possible?) active dark copper body with burnt orange highlight. big, loud, bone white head that almost fully diminishes, and as an airy mess. the flavor is not that good. a touch of caramel, water, yeaup. hmm. oh, hum. and when i take a gulp that sense of gym comes into my mouth and nose, grr. however, there is a good, soft, sweet aftertaste! perhaps it’s only the aroma that kills this...
