Mar 23, 2009 12oz in mug. Deep brown with medium tan head. Mild raisiny and roasty nose with a touch of sulfur. Flavor is reminiscent of overextracted coffee, rather astringent and puckering. I admit, this is not my favorite style, but I was really hoping for a big toasty, Munich-y wallop.

Mar 22, 2009 Say, this is a tasty surprise. Pours darker than expected from looking at the bottle. Dark brown pour with tan head. Great lacing. Really a pretty beer. I’m probably rating this a bit high, but this hit the spot and is the kind of beer I’ve been looking for... rich and flavorful but light on the ABV. Nice dark malts, chocolate notes, some dark fruits, but a snappy little hop presence, too. I bought a single, but I’ll be going back for a sixer. Nice.

Mar 22, 2009 pours dark brown with light mocha head.
Aroma is hoppy and pine, some light raisins and nice bready sweetness as well as other dark fruits. Really impressed by it.
Taste, hoppy more on floral side, malty some lingering bitterness in the finish and spices. Darkf ruits, light caramel.
Could certainly get better with age and lose some of the bitter side.

Mar 11, 2009 Updated: May 14, 2009Sweet raisins and molasses with some slight chocolate notes. Blackish brown, slight and deep red hue, medium tan head. Bitter chocolate and cold coffee flavors, not well-balanced. Big carbonation, slight thinness, fairly clean finish. Not super impressed with this beer. Seemed more like a soulless Stout than a Bock.

Mar 7, 2009 22 oz. Reddish-brown pour with a thick brown head. Sweet aroma of malt. Aftertaste is slight sweetness that seemed to linger longer as the beer warmed up.

Mar 3, 2009 12 fl oz bottle. Pours dark borwn and hazy with a small tan head. Sweet yet roasted malt and ense pinewood hoppy aroma. Light acidic, overripe fruity and somewhat wooden in initial flavour. Somewhat wineous and dense malty in base flavour. Lasting malty and wineous impression into the finish.
