29 Apr 06 - Big sweet malt, vegetable hop aroma. Clear brown colour, good head and poor lacing. Sweet simple malt and hop flavour. Thin, tangy malt finish and light malt aftertaste.

Bitter malt hop aroma with smokey undertones. Clear red brown colour with foamy head and good lacing. Biter malt hop flavour with burnt aftertaste. Smooth palate.

Aroma: some film processing liquids with crystal malt. Appearance: amber with a tan head that leaves patchy lacing. Flavour: lightly malty with celery and cut with soda water. Palate: thin.

Bottle- Poured nice white head which dissipated with no lacing. Aroma was burnt toffee and taste was sweet with an aftertaste to die for it is sweetness heaven. This is a great beer with which i have converted a few vb stalwarts to the micro brew way. Unfortunately no stock available currently but look for it next winter this is a gem from a great brewery.

Looks good - deep red, clear, decent foamy head. Big, powerful aroma of treacle, butter and toast made me think it would have an equally powerful flavour, but it didn’t. Instead it was shockingly watery in comparison with candy, subtle smooth roastiness, vegemite and quite a bit of diacetyl flavour which gives a perception of a nice buttery texture. Surprisingly dry. On taste alone, you’d never guess it’s a bock, but I still found it interesting and quite drinkable. Bintara sure makes some "unique" stuff.
