Mar 20, 2008 Pours a dark brown. Very dark brown in fact, when held to the light none passes through. If the light or glass are tilted some hues of ruby show through. The head is toasted white and large, thick and rich. Aroma is strong malt and west coast hops. Taste is also very malty, milk chocolate, drying anise, sweet and tart grapes, and dark roasted coffee in the finish. The mouth feel is pleasantly accurate, frothy and delicious. I believe the alcohol level is just right. Well done!

Mar 19, 2008 Poured a deep dark brown color with decent head that dissipated rapidly. Aroma is sweet maltiness with notes of chocolate and dark fruits. Taste has notes of dark fruit, chocolate, and roasted nuttiness. Fairly complex. Mouthfeel is pleasant and drinkability is fairly high.

Mar 10, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark brown ruby, off white head. Aroma is molasses, malt, salted nuts, anise. Flavor is the same with caramel and bread and is refreshing. The aroma is heavier than the flavor but I don’t find the body to be too weak.

Mar 9, 2008 bottle - Pours dark amber with a big, light tan head. The aroma is of caramel malt and dark fruit. The roast caramel malt flavor has more hops than usual for this style and finishes dry. I found it a little on the watery side. It’s alright as a session brew, but be aware that it’s not as sweet and dry as you’d expect for the style and that there are certainly better bocks to be had.

Mar 8, 2008 Bottle: Brown with a nice tan head. The aroma is pleasant - a perfect amount of malty goodness mixed with some light musk. Lively carbonation which creates a smooth foamy feel going through the mouth. This would be a perfect beer to drink with pizza. It has a light cola aftertaste.

Mar 7, 2008 Aroma is a roasted scent with tones that remind me of orange liquor. Color is a dark amber with very good carbonation and a thick tight tan head. Taste is clean and malty. Starting with a medium body it goes down crisp letting it feel lighter then it is. Finish is a roasted malt flavor back with a spicy hop flavor that come out with a mild citrus (orange) and vanilla taste. In the after taste its clean with a mild bitterness. This is a very good brew and is better then I was expecting it to be.
