May 23, 2008 Updated: May 28, 2008Bottle. Pours dark brown with a moderately large brown head. Aroma is sweet malt---bread and dark fruits predominating---with some herbal hops. Flavor is bready, nutty, a little roast, a little grain, possibly a sour note, and a short finish with a few hops. A bit unusual, with crisp, almost sharp malt instead of the usual bock malt character. Pretty good though.

May 18, 2008 Attractive tawny garnet body with a tight slightly oily tan head. Bread, gain, cream, and plums with an undercurrent of dark green herbal hops. Mouthfeel is a little on the bright side, was hoping for a tad more thickness. Brassy grains, raisins, coco powder, and toasted biscuit. Finishes with a bit of malted milk and is gone.

May 17, 2008 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a very dark brown color with ruby highlights and a a very large brown head. The aroma was sweet, malty and lightly roasty. The flavor was tangy, bitter, roasty and a but nutty with a long tangy an d roasty finish. The mouthfeel was decently thick. Decent but rather forgettable.

May 11, 2008 A nice looking beer when poured into a mug. A great head that sticks around with a beautiful mahogany body. One of the nicer looking bocks and beers I have seen. The aroma is full of nuts and you even pull a bitter aroma if that is possible, you get a good sense of what is coming. The first taste is bitter and nutty. Nice but it sits a little off on the palate. As is usual with me it betters as it warms. I may just start drinking everything at room temperature to start.

May 8, 2008 Opaque dark brown pour with a three-quarter inch tan head. Nutty aroma with some toasted malt. Flavor is dark: lightly bitter nut, maybe toasted pecan, wood and black bread. Pleasantly smooth bock with medium thickness and a slightly slick mouthfeel. Rich and excellent.

May 7, 2008 nice dark brown pour with a small tan head that sticks to the edges. really malty aroma with dark raisins, molasses and cola. the flavor unfortunately can’t live up to the aroma’s hype... malt, molasses, banana-like aftertaste and a bit of smokiness are followed up by a sourness and acidic finish that is really out of place. it’s not roasted astringency. it’s just plain sour. medium body with creamy carbonation which does give it a pleasant mouth feel.
