Sep 5, 2007 A lot of substance in this beer, it takes a much need bock and gives it a spike of roasted, toasted goodness. Its a real warmer to the palate. a special treat.

Sep 5, 2007 The aroma is sweet and toasted with yeast, dark fruit, and brown sugar. The appearance is impressive with a gigantic head and dark brown color. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is average. Overall it’s good but it lacks that certain something.

dark muddy brown, thin tan head, big rich earthy malt aroma, rich dry malt flavor with only a hint of sweetness, not a lot of depth, too dry for a bock

Aug 26, 2007 Bottle (330ml). Deep refractive chestnut red with a large frothy beige lating head, thick lacing drapes. Rich dark sweet malt aroma, molasses, raisins, figs, light chocolate, dry yeast, winter spices, alcohol. The flavour follows right on, quite warming, sweet, spicy and dark, even some tart cherry inj there too. Average body, very slick and lively, spicy yeast and alcohol bitterness balances out the sweet malt nicely, medium long linger but no aftertaste. Got a nice little buzz off it.

Aug 13, 2007 330ml bottle. Hazy murky brown with ruby highlights. Dissipating finger width of beige head. Sweet cinnamon nose. Candy sugar. Full bodied and sweet, with a nice sporatic citrus bitterness slashing through the middle. Caramel malts and quite bright. Clinging head and notes of dates and cloves. Spicy splashes. Sweet syrupy to 7Up to tart red fruit and sweet breads. Not the fullest double I’ve ever had, but that doesn’t detract from the enjoyment of this brew at all. Nice balance. Not quite rounded, but definitely melded flavors. I really love randomly rating beers after vyvvy (see below). Typical striking contrasts! Cheers John!

Aug 12, 2007 Pours dark tawny brown with a nice pillowy light tan head. The aroma has dark grain, yeast, breadiness, brown sugar and toasted malt. Medium / full body that starts soft then gets thinner and a bit abrasive with fairly harsh sharp carbonation. The flavor starts with dark bread and molasses, roasted malt and cola-like flavor. Then some maple syrup followed by medicinal astringency. The last lingering part has brown sugar and a citrusy sharpness. Overall it is an odd beer that I’m not sure if I like or not.

Aug 10, 2007 Bottle. Fairly weak aroma of toffee, oak and yeast. Pours a rich cloudy brown with a huge off-white head. Roasted malt, dry white oak, and an odd sourness on the palate. Medium to full bodied with decent carbonation.

Aug 8, 2007 Probably the best single-bock I’ve had. The appearance is one of deep ruby with an aggressive head that does its Arrogant Bastard receptacle -- a very modestly priced receptacle in which to transmit this beverage’s final mortal remains -- proud. This beer actually hits the spot in a way few beers do, without having to be all complex and sophisticated and stuff. I’d drink this shit till the cows come home. The only weak spot is the lack of aroma. Gotta pump up some subjective areas to compensate, ’cause aroma is only so important.. Good night, sweet prince.
