Triumph Winter Bock

Brewed by Triumph Brewing Company
Style: Dunkler Bock
Princeton, New Jersey USA

Poured reddish brown with a thick tan head. Aromas of wheat, cloves, banana, white wine, toffee, caramel and plum. Taste was dominated by toffee and had hints of coffee and chocolate as well. Palate was very full with a good balance. This is an exceptional Bock in my opinion.

Darkest red color ever, wheaty kind of smell, flavor is alcohol, cinnamon, cloves, hops, tastes big for 7%, off white head leaves good lacing.

2/1/06 New Hope. Really great and really free. From a small wooden barrel tapped by the Executive Brewmaster of Triumph. Bock-tastic. Much nicer out of the barrel than it was on tap

Triumph New Hope. Clear copper body with a silky beige head. Buttery aroma with elements of brown butter and dark butterscotch. Also has notes of dark bread crusts and sweet fruit and candy. Flavor is of toasty Munich malt, medium sweet and clean. Sticky sweet palate. A decent bock overall.
