Pours translucent dark copper color with an almost immediately dissipating head. Smells like malt extract and caramel. Very sweet flavor with a watery carbonated palate. I remember buying it years ago and being disappointed and today is no different. It’s clearly not a bock (labeled an American Dark), but for its price i’d take it over similarly priced crappy American Pales like bud.

Mass produced, classic Bock flavor. Brown pour with a hint toward red. Thin head quickly disappears. Nice smooth mouth feel and mild aftertaste. One of the most popular bar and restaurant beers available in the Houston, TX area.

Bottle - Pours a dark amber. Almost no head at all. Slight sweetness. No mouthfeel. Not a bad beer, in fact its very drinkable, but overall very dissappointing. People had talked this beer up to me, but its pretty plain and ordinary. Just nothing to talk about.

Dark amber brown pour with quickly receding finger of head. Mild malty aroma with malt, caramel, slight spice and nuttiness - nothing distinctive though. Fiizzy/sudsy on the tongue, but mostly smooth/silky going down. It’s a beer and it’s there.

Pours a rich amber hue with thin, off-white head. Quite smooth and very drinkable with little carbonation. Flavor has hints of caramel and malts. I was not impressed with this very basic bock.

(bottle): Pours a brown-red body, clearish. Nearly no head, off-white. Nutty, fruity?, grainy? aroma; fizzy. Nutty watery ltaste. Plainish.
