Sep 15, 2007 Roasted overall flavors but very winelike actually, making it a bit too acidic for my liking. It also had a big apple-like aftertaste, which I did not like either. I haven’t tried many bock beers but I think I prefer other offerings from Anchor more.

Sep 13, 2007 Poured a very nice dark reddish brown (I almost thought I was pouring a sweet stout). Head was soapy looking and aroma is a sweet roasted scent. Flavor was also lightly sweet with a roasted coffee aftertaste. Overall, very very nice, with elements of sweet stouts. Definitely will require future purchases!

Sep 11, 2007 Bottle poured into a snifter. Very deep brown with decent head. Nutty roasted, almond-like aroma - more subtle than I hoped. Highly carbonated and quite light weight on the palate - not rich or creamy. No aftertaste. Flavor is there but is very muted. Essentially, this beer was not at all what I expected - but it wasn’t bad. I’d have again.

Sep 7, 2007 Rich Chocolately deep brown, but basically black in the glass with mild light tan head. Fairly light smell but it is a roasty, malty smell with chocolately, caramel hints. Rich and carbonated body, with mild sweetness, a slight hint of bitterness and a nice bitter-sweet mild coffee like finish. A touch bland, but my bottle might be quite old. One I’d love to have fresh. Still good nonethess and not a disappointment at all.

Aug 31, 2007 Aroma of liquorice, and roast coffee, dark brown, red at the edges, pours a small toffee head. Flavour is roast malt, raisins, dark bread, woody, nutty. Medium bodied, very bitter, quite dry, tasty. Great.

Aug 29, 2007 Many thanks to skyview for this bottle. Intense amber color with faint brown head. A sweet aroma with malt, strong molasses, and faint hops. Sweet malt flavor with molasses hints that quickly switches to a slightly dry, almost imperceptibly bitter hop character rather quickly.
