Poured light amber with an off white head. Aroma is bread and caramel. Flavor is mildly sweet with medium bitterness. Bread, wheat, some brown sugar, and caramel. Above average carbonation.

Bright yellow gold, small sticky white head. Clean white sugar sweetness with a bit of underripe strawberry. Pale sweetness, soft doughy body, reminds me of dead guy. ale yeast? hint of caramel and thistle in the finish.

Nice bock. It’s a shame, but people’s "issue" with this beer is that it’s a heller bock, not a DIPA or Belgian or RIS. This is a very good example of a German bock. Nice pale golden color, light straw sweetness in the nose. Well balanced palate. Finishes clean, no off flavors.

Pours a clear gold, with thin white head. Aroma is light with mild notes of hops and malt. Taste is malty with notes of hops, but fairly well balanced. I agree that it finishes dry, with a hint of carmel. Not bad all in all, but not great either.

Bottle at a homebrew meetup. I really am not sure what people’s issue with this beer is, it’s pretty damn good. Anyway, Pours a deep gold with a resilient head. The nose is crisp pils malt, light hopping and a biscuity fullness. On taste, round and full malt profile. Melanoidins and baked bread, light hop note. Really nice malt profile. Medium bodied. Finish is clean. Damn fine bock...

Boss Tom’s has an orange appearance. The aroma is very malty, and the malt is toasty. There’s some yeast as well in the aroma. The taste is rather tart, but not outright sour. The palate is average. No particular quality about this beer is outstanding, but somehow it has a good quality that I can’t quite pinpoint; I just want to keep drinking. Overall, I’d say that you should give it a try.

12oz bottle-pours a white head and yellow color. Aroma is light malt, herbal. Taste is sweet light malt, herbal hops.

Bottle pours a clear gold with a tiny white head. Scent is sweet with grains and bready. Taste is grainy and caramel sweet.

bottle. Pours gold with small white head. Aroma of grain, not much detectable. Flavor is at first malty sweet with fresh hay, some butter, caramel. Somewhat bland finish. Overall a nice, drinkable, sessionable bock, with a clean and refreshing taste, but nothing to write home about.

Malty and grainy with hints of caramel. Very decent session type beer. I will try this one again.
