Pours a very deep brown-ish almost black color with a small head that leaves a decent bit of lace. The aroma is nutty and bready with a big of odd fruity, altogether it’s a fairly faint smelling beer but it’s not bad at all. The flavor is roasty and nutty, terribly unbalanced with some mineraly and soapy notes. This could easily pass as a porter, but not a good one.

Had on tap at the "brewpub." You can basically use one description for all of their beers - too light, pretty lame, and just not all that great. Admittedly, this is their best brew - but that’s not saying much.

A dark amber body that is nearly ruby. The aroma was caramel with some black tea and cherries. The taste had some caramel and black tea. There was a nasty cherry syrup type finish. A much better bock than I was expecting. this was the one Beck’s beer I wouldn’t mind trying again.

On tap at the brewpub. Mahogany red in color. Low carbonation. No head. Syrup aroma. Sweet and roasted. Flavor is very sweet. I suppose that this has higher alcohol, but right now in Iowa, that can’t mean more than 5% ABW. possibly the best beer made here, but mostly sucks. This will remind you of a watered-down Jaegermeister shot.
