May 6, 2008 Draft. Clear orange-amber, dense orange-tinted head leaving early lace. Fruity toffee aroma. Sweet malt (marzipan) and light fruit (apricot) in perfect balance, very flavourful. Moderate bitter finish. Very good.

Aug 7, 2007 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle via trade with kyzr. Pours a clear golden orange brew with an average fast dissolving white head that leaves behind a nice ring and spotty lacing. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, candi sugar, some sweet pears and a touch of flowery hops. Taste is smooth, creamy, medium bodied with a slightly sweet caramel malt and toffee that is very enjoyable. Finish continues the sweet flavor and a slight toffee aftertaste. Taste more of the malt than any hop bitterness in this brew.

Jul 3, 2006 12 oz brown bottle, with a great label featuring a fierce looking mountain goat in an alpine wild flower meadow.
Nice enough looking Bock dark amber , slightly hazy with a small light tan head, attractive.
Aroma is mostly malty,,its rather subdued but it is ok.
Flavour is mainlly MALTY..bitter-sweet and slightly fruity, there is hops present but they only add a nice feel to the beer.Slight lactic like sourness, which I actually enjoyed.
Pretty average on the palate, long lasting aftertaste, some alcohol detected i suspect this is around 6.5%..but I could be wrong.
Over all I found this quite drinkable and pleasant.
