thedm (3405), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Mar 21, 2008 This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to medium sized off-white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent typically carbonated brown colored body. The aroma was malty and musty. The crisp and clean mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish. The mild flavor contained notes of malt hops and brown malt. A decent one but not one that I would consider buying again.
jebert (39), Watertown, Wisconsin, USA Jul 13, 2008 Pours red-brown crowned by a tan head. Coffee, malt and carmel greet the nose. Creamy on the palate, the taste is of roast malt and toffee with fairly hoppy finish. A satisfying thirst quencher that can be enjoyed all year long. Narnad (59), Dundee, Illinois, USA Jun 22, 2008 Poured from a bottle red with a little brown mixed in, no head and very fine carbonation. Aromas are of alcohol, strong malt and sweet fruit. Smells a lot like merlot wine. Flavor starts off of sweet carmel malt, moves into a plum flavor and ends with a very smooth, almost slippery feeling, sugary nectarine/peach flavor on the tip of your tongue. I was quite surprised at this beer and will definitely get this one next time its in season. Headbanger (922), Aurora, Illinois, USA Jun 17, 2008 12oz bottle-A dark ruby red body with a huge off white head which has an aroma of malt and the typical Berghoff aroma. Taste is of malt, caramel, sweetness, and has a dry finish. Not bad but a little watery. phishpond417 (1162), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jun 8, 2008 This medium bodied brew pours a reddish brown colour with a thin white head full of sweet malted aromas. It has a light silky mouthfeel for a winter bock. naivepegasus (139), USA Jun 3, 2008 Updated: Jun 8, 2008Pours ruby red with a finger of slightly beige head. Fruity malts dominate the odor. The taste has a bit of a hop bitterness, and a slight aftertaste of toast. A bit watery, a bit of an oddness to it... nothing special.
