Jun 5, 2008 Deep ruby/brown with a towering, thick, beige head. Caramel, fruity, malty, toffee, and a bit nutty aroma. Body is a little thiner than I expected. Was hoping for a little more intense flavor, but it’s good regardless. Nutty, toffee, caramel, malts, and a little fruit. A very drinkable bock, and isn’t that the only thing that matters?

Jun 4, 2008 Deep brown appearance with a medium size, long lasting tan head and little lacing. Sweet, malty aroma with nuances of molassass, dark fruit and caramel. Taste is sweet as well. Caramel, toffee and fruit in the forefront; earthy, nutty flavors follow. Rich, medium-to-full bodied, decently carbonated mouthfeel. Lingering finish.

Jun 2, 2008 Pours a very dark reddish brown. Nice fluffy beige head. Aroma is very sweet roasted caramel and chocolate malt. Flavor is very robust and sweet. Very caramel with some vanilla and honey notes. There seems to be a tiny bit of fruitiness in the finish as well. Medium-full body and a nice thick mouth feel. Very nice all around
