Dec 3, 2007 Bottle. [thank you, skortila!]
Pours a deep red mahogany with a large foamy beige head. Aroma is fruity, with strawberries mixing in with caramel, toffee, raisins. Nice high carbonation. Flavour is surprisingly ’dark’, with chocolate dominating. There is some tones of dried, dark fruits as well, but the chocolate really stands out. Ver dry finish with chocolate and slight hoppiness. Some nuts and very powerful roasted caramel. Quite warming, but there is not much viniousness. But there is an unwanted metallic side to it that it just will not let go of.

Nov 10, 2007 Clear, dark cranberry-brown body. There’s a massive, billowing, cream colored head that shows excellent retention. Tons of random lace splotches cover the glass. The aroma shows heavy molasses up front, with figs, caramel, root beer, honey and dark raisons. The scent is very malty, with just a touch of floral hops. The flavor is based on sweet, malty caramel, with cream, an array of dark fruits, honey, flowers, and even a hint of hazelnuts. The mouthfeel is intensely lively, and probably overly so. Medium bodied. The sweet and slightly sour finish was moderate in duration. Pretty solid brew.

Nov 7, 2007 It seems to me that the Belgian versions of non-Belgian styles never quite get away from tasting like a Belgian style beer. This "bock" is no exception...it is more like a dubbel than a bock for sure. Not bad though.
This beer poured a red-brown color with a a soapy head. It had a red wine aroma, by which I mean I thought I got some tannin, a touch of sour and some grapiness. Flavor was some sourness with a full red-wine mouthfeel. It wasn’t very bock-like; rather it was more like Grand Cru to me. Not bad.
Weakly recommended.
