Jun 1, 2007 Bottle. Aroma of roasted / toasted malt, pit fruit, bubblegum, and chocolate. The palate is a little thin. Flavor is similar to the smells, but real smokey. Not my favorite style.

May 28, 2007 Bottle: Poured a deep brown color bock with a rather large off-white foamy head with better then average retention. Aroma of rich and sweet malt is domination and quite pleasant if maybe a bit strong for the style. Taste is also dominated by rich and sweeter then expected malt. Body is full with some adequate carbonation. Interesting take on the style but a bit too sweet for the style IMHO.

May 26, 2007 Pours brown, when held up to the light, has amber tones. There was almost no head. Upon smelling it there was little aroma other than malt. It had a slightly sour taste. I wish I hadn’t bought a sixer.

May 25, 2007 Updated: Apr 22, 2008Bottle. Sweetish dark malts with molasses. Dark ruby body with a lively little light brown head that’s gone without even taking off its head. Taste is very dry, bitter, dark. Aftertaste as well. Lightish body. Alcohol warming (surprising for this level) and slight numbing of the soft palate. Herbiness with light plum and tobacco, slight roast. This is like no German Bock I’ve had, and despite the appreciable complexity and craftsmanship, not even an offering I’d like to have again. Sharp, angular, and hard. [2.7]
After a few more bottles, I’ve come to love its dryness and its grit, but the mild fruitiness is not particularly becoming and the mild sharpness is misplaced. Long-lasting, extremely earthy hop tone, though, more than makes up for it. Much more tobacco coming out this time - better warm? Certainly plummier. A classy stand-alone - I find it hard to mix this with anything else, even bread or pretzels. [3.3]

May 17, 2007 A dark brown / amber color with a nice light tan head. Aroma is malts, light roast and cream. Flavor is very bold. Caramel malts, molasses, maybe some black licorice. The mouthfeel was just a bit light but still a very good beer overall.
