4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. This is absolutely delicious. Dark brown pour with a monster clingy foamy reddish-brown head. Huge molasses, chocolate, and red wine nose. Smooth medium palate with some carbonation. Taste is malt, mild chocolate, some fruitiness, and some roastiness. Just excellent all the way around - would love to see this with the carbonation toned down just a touch and the palate heft kicked up just a touch.

This beer was very good nice and malty not to over the top i would buy this beer again.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Colabrown beer with a medium, beautiful, thick and light brown head. Aroma is malty, berries, strawberries, nice aroma. Taste is also malty, berries, some roasted malts, more bitterness than usually at bocks, and bitterness is sightly wooden. Medium bodied with medium carbonation, however, less carbonation could be better. Quite nice beer, but I expected more because of great brewer. Malty and surprisingly, lots of berries in this bock.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle @ home. Aroma is sweet burned caramel, some christmas like spices. Flavour is dry roasted malt, some deep burned malt, touch of coffee, hint of spices. Roasty and dry bock. Okay.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at home. Dark brown pour, reddish hue and a thin off-white head. Aroma is roasty, some mocha, dark fruits and red wine. Flavor is slightly sweet, bready and some bitter. A bit rough.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 14/20
Appearance: murky brown with maroon highlights and a rich, one-finger tan head. Aroma: molasses, toasted malts, some graham cracker. Taste: toasted dark malts, caramel, strong notes of molasses and brown bread, hint of cherry. Finish: creamy, smooth and dry, with a noticeable dusty flavor at the last. Notes: Not quite as sweet as I’d expect from a bock, and I didn’t care for the pronounced dusty flavor at the end, but the palate was incredible: silky smooth, rich and full without being cloying.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
35,5 cl bottle @ home, BBE 12/2012
Flavour is rather interesting mix of American hops and roasted malt typical to bocks. Exotic fruits and hints of coffee, chocolate, licorice and berry juice. Flavour is hoppy too with exotic fruits at the beginning and finish with coffee, chocolate and licorice. Also Anchor house flavour is present. A bit thin palate. Really not your typical bock but rather unique and nice, especially when looking at the ABV.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
355 ml bottle. BBE 12/2012.
Pours a deep mahogany colour with a thick beigeish head. Aroma of strong American hops and sweet toasted malts - really good. Flavour of pleasant sweet toasted malts, American hops, sweetish berries, milk chocolate and light coffee. Medium bodied, very soft carbonation and smooth mouthfeel. Finish of bitter American hops, chocolate and some fruitiness. Extremely well balanced and kudos for the low ABV.
