Oct 22, 2006 750 bottle. The beer is medium-dark amber with a trace, white, frothy, mostly and rapidly diminishing head.<P>
I think there’s a problem with the aroma—it’s overwhelmingly butterscotchy and the butterscotch is loaded with diacetyl. I don’t think it’s necessarily unpleasant, but it’s definitely flawed. Otherwise, the aroma is malty with a moderate note of toasted grain, caramel; Hoppy with trace notes of tea, lemon, pine; Yeasty with a trace note of basement.<P>
The flavor is moderately-to-heavily bitter, moderately sweet with a long, warm, lightly bittersweet finish. Unclean aftertaste.<P>
The body is light, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.

Oct 16, 2006 Nice pour, a deep chestnut body with red highlights and a dense, creamy tan head that disappears in chunks, lacing heavily as it does so. It’s a very rich, malty sweet nose accented by dark dried fruits, traces of milk chocolate, and a whisp of alcohol. The alcohol has a greater presence in the flavor, but it’s dominated by tastes of chocolate dipped caramel, dried fruits, and a peppery spiciness. The finish is surprizingly clean, leaving only a low alcohol burn. Very nice. <font size=-4><a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/Places/ShowPlace.asp?

Oct 1, 2006 On tap at the Falling Rock. Garnet w/ a creamy tan head. Left some good lace behind. Chewy currant and chocolate overed caramels with a touch of hops in the nose. Very nice rich malt flavor. A bit of cooked cherries with light spice. Med/full body. Well carbonated. Dryer finish. Very good.

Sep 29, 2006 Strong, malty, slightly alcoholic aroma. Sweet honey and figs are also in the aroma - it leads me to believe it is very complex. The flavor is pretty good overall too. Smooth and enjoyable bock.

Sep 29, 2006 A nice belgian-inspired bock (or bock-inspired belgian) - bright, fire-red color, with thick, off-white lace - aroma of caramelized brown sugar, bread yeast, cherries and light winter spices - soft carbonation, medium bodied - a little tangy up front, with light fruity esters - a nice mingling of malts creates a flavor much like dark chocolate covered caramels - warming alcohol and light spices in the finish - not really a true bock, but who cares?
