May 10, 2007 A small beige ring settles on top of a clear dark-ruby body. Aroma and taste is mainly raisins dipped in molasses. Raisins take over the molasses as the beer warms up. A little floury touch. Faint floral hops in the finish. The beer is very simple but could be quite effective if it wasn’t for the lacking body. A bit sticky and airy with a sparse carbonation. The end-result the type of nice but generic bock you get in half the of the USA brewpubs. As effective but also as innovative as a doorstop.

May 7, 2007 Dark black body that glows red in light.
Thich foamy white-brown head that last pretty well. Aroma is of chocolate and breadish in the start. Gets more sour and of grapes later on.
Flavor is also bready and roasted its get more grape-sour after a while.
Palate is medium and leaves a harch aftertaste, like the one you get if you bite the seeds from a grape.

May 7, 2007 Dark brown with a thick tan head. Heavy aroma of molasses, toasty malt, and bread. More molasses in the taste, but accompanied by cocoa and nuttiness. Very rich and heavy mouthfeel. Nice.

May 6, 2007 Poured a dark brown; frothy medium to large off white head. of caramel and toasted malt, with a peppering of hops. Flavor of roasted malt and nuttiness; with some sourness. Really different flavor. Some molasses and hops. New to the style, not sure what I really make of this one.

May 5, 2007 Deep red-brown body, thin, tight light tan head. Aroma of heavy caramels, toast, and chocolate. Dense, bready, caramely body, with chocolate and vinous dark grape notes. Leafy hops complement the heavy malts. Long, dry, somewhat bitter finish. A rich, hearty, well-made bock.

May 5, 2007 Updated: May 6, 2007I was a little hard on this beer when I rated it last night. I made the mistake of having it after a barleywine so it tasted like flat coke to me at the time. After having another one today I will improve my rating a bit. The malt flavor comes through really well and it finishes smoothly. It still didn’t bowl me over but was much better than before.
