| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 2, 2010 Opaque Dark brown, with a good amount of head and moderate lacing,
big bouquet. low-medium amount of carbonation. Flavors of dark roasted malts and some coffee, light to medium hops in the finish. Notes of chocolate, grains and maybe black licorice. Overall a pretty good bock with
some porter type qualities. I would drink this again, before Id go for a porter most likely. daknole (3032), Scottsdale, Arizona, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Nov 27, 2009 Bottle from Utobeer. Very dark ruby, thin tan head. Yes a little bocky on aroma, some fresh prune, some jammy fruit. Yes its a half decent beer, with a lot of dry malt in the mouth and on the swallow. Some faint hop sting on the end. Its fine. Quite drinkable. TizzleJizzle (70), Garland, Texas, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Nov 25, 2009 Resin and herbal aroma. Poured a gorgeous dark red color with great head retention. Excellent initial taste of citrus, floral, and hay. However, I don’t like the lingering bitter after taste. I don’t mind the hoppy after taste, but idk what I taste afterwards, perhaps I got a bad batch. Overall this is a good beer. I’ll try another batch later on and adjust my score if need be.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 27, 2009 Poured cloudy and brown with reddish highlights. A two-finger tall, off-white head appeared and offered average lacing. The aroma was lots of malts, light toffee and slightly metallic. The flavor was malts, toffee, unchecked alcohol and a touch of chocolate. Almost medium in body. Didn’t quite come together for me. The weird combination of metal and alcohol on the finish really distracted me.
