On tap: Copper golden color with a white head. Typical caramel malty bock aroma with some mustiness. Body is semi-dry and grainy with some bready notes and caramely sweetness. An ok bock, but could use some more balance.

A new VT Pub beer, close on the heels of three new 3 Needs and preceding a new McNeills! We're in Vermont beer heaven, folks! Well, if this were really good, anyways, which unfortunately its not. Light golden, slight head, uh-oh looks awfully light for a bock. Some malty hints in the weak nose, but the bar smoke does that in. Flavor is pleasant, clean, malty caramel with hints of peat; body is medium, buttery, with a little hop bite at the very end. Not terrible, but probably not to be drunk again by me.
