| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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 (1935), Madison, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | 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

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | 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.
