Feb 8, 2007 Bottle. Pours dark brown/black with a red tint when held up to the light. Thin to medium light brown head. Aroma of some dark fruits, leather, some smoke and plastic. Taste is caramel, dark fruits and chocolate. Finish is bitter, thin to medium body and a little chalky mouthfeel. Not familiar with this style, but I wasn’t too fond of this.

Feb 7, 2007 Brownish black, tan foamy head. Nose held notes of toasted caramel, dried dark fruits, and just a faint hint of smoke. Flavor was lightly tangy with more dried dark fruit, caramel, and hints of citric hops. Light bodied and slightly thin, medium carbonation, drying lightly bittersweet finish. Good brew for sessions...

Feb 5, 2007 12 oz. stubby, twist off bottle. Poured out a deep chocolate brown, with ruby highlights. Decent amount of a mocha colored head. Aromas are of chocolate malts, some yeast, slightly nutty also. Flavors are of subdued burnt sugar, dark malts, slight bready flavor. Medium mouthfeel, rich body to it. Decent effort of the style.

Feb 3, 2007 The overwhelming smell of this is pure hops, very nice aroma. The look is beautiful. Reddish brown with thick tan head. Doesn’t remind me much of a bock, but it is a good beer. Creamy palate, nutty, graham crackers in there along with butterscotch.

Jan 29, 2007 this beer pours a deep brown/almost black with a very thin tan head. The nose is very light but I am getting Like the previous rater I am getting toffee and licorice. The taste is quite sweet and effervescent. This is a well made bock. Will probably drink this again. Cheers!

Jan 28, 2007 Best sampled near room temperature to really appreciate this beer. It reminds me of the Christmans ale without the spices. A minute whiff of hops and then toffee and licorice. The sweetness near the end is tempered by hop bitterness.
