vikingguy (138), Chaska, Minnesota, USA Feb 9, 2009 Bottle. Pours very dark with a faint ruby hue. Tan foamy head. Earthy aroma with hint of banana. Flavor starts with a hint of coffee and roasted malts, followed by a slight flowery sweetness and a estery/cascade hop finish. A very good bock. AlabastorJones (762), San Francisco, California, USA Feb 1, 2009 clearish, slight fog, dark red / brown color with a thin off white head, big malty caramel nose, roasty hop bitter flavor, most body of any anchor brews i’ve tried, piney, clove, dark roast caramel jkwalking05 (1483), Arlington, Texas, USA Jan 31, 2009 Dark brown color with attractive garnet highlights. Strong malty aroma and lightly toasted flavor of sweet malt. The medium body beer lingers with some alcohol warmth.
tarheels86 (704), Washington DC, USA Jan 25, 2009 330 mL. Pours a dark, clear brown with a good two-finger, off-white head with good retention. Aromas of milk chocolate, roasted malt, raisins. Taste is slightly thin and highly carbonated but there is a lot of caramel, burnt sugar, and dark fruits. Balancing hops shine through in the finish. A good session beer. phishpond417 (1861), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Jan 20, 2009 I can’t believe i haven’t tried this beer yet, Purchased recently on sale for 5.99 a sixer: Pours a dark reddish brown with a medium sized tan head. Aroma is very pleasent and enticing with it’s lightly roasted malt character, pecans and milk chocolate. Mouthfeel is so soft and creamy- it’s a completely differnt taste from what im used to in bocks. Flavors are sort of milk chocolatey and coffee notes. skweek (13), College Park, Maryland, USA Jan 18, 2009 Pours dark brown, with a thick tan head. Aroma of roasted caramel malt. Taste is of roasted malts. Very good beer, I really enjoyed it. coldbrewky (716), Saugerties, New York, USA Jan 12, 2009 Draft at the local tonight with dinner. appearance number is somewhat skewed since it arrived in my ceramic mug from the mug club. The head was nice and foamy though. I was expecting a bit more nuttiness in the nose but recieved a fair portion of caramel. Body is full and rich. Chocolate malts with a sprinkling of instant hot chocolate greet the tounge and surround it with plentiful indulgance. A crisp dry finish offsets the buffalo chicken sangwich nicely. crazyvin (1246), New York, USA Dec 12, 2008 Poured a dark brown, almost like a porter, with a tan head. Seemed somewhat thin. Heavy malt notes throughout. mostly dark cocoa and some bread notes. A nice dryness throughout. Good.
