Mar 3, 2006 12oz bottle shared courtesy of weeare138. Poured a deep orange color with a small sized off white head. Aromas of caramel, and has a roastiness to it. Tastes of weaker caramel and nothing else to really note or that really stood out. Thin and watery body. Palate cleanser, next...

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.

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>

Feb 21, 2004 Amber color with a well retained creamy beige head. Oyster sauce aroma.Very smooth palate. Lots of sweet caramel throught the quaff. A little sweet and lacking in complexity, but a very dinkable and smooth brew.

Clear copper color with a beige wispy/spritzy head. Light dry dark malt aroma with a hint of celery. Kind of tastes like a bock , but lacks depth, body, soul... Finishes with a dry maltiness and a touch of pepper. Seem to improve as it warms. Somewhat like mixing a Celebrator with a light ale.

Jan 14, 2005 Deep copper pour, with medium white head. malty, fruity, slightly floral, spicy, sour aroma. Tastes malty, with a slight tartness at the finsih, coupled with a definite cognacy aftertaste. Slightly light in palate for a bock, but not bad.

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!
