2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Pours amber with a fully receding tan head. Notes of thick caramel, bready malt, plums and some spicy phenols which are a bit undesirable for this beer. Medium to full bodied with moderate carbonation. Not bad, but the lager fermentation seems a bit unclean.

Bottle, #489. Maroon pour with small head. Weird aroma and flavor, a bit mediciny. Not a good bock, pretty disappointing.

Sampled at the Impromptu Butter’s 6th cellar clearance. Clear red with small tan head. Aroma has some raspberry tartness verging on sourness or vinegar. Flavor is caramel malty but again verging on sour. Plastic. Sickly sweet. Showing signs of infection, but still drinkable

I had high hopes for this. But the beer failed. Color is nice enough...amber. Aroma isn’t all that bad, malty and a bit fruity. Flavor is too tart and sour with no development towards a true dunkler bock. Not sure where it went wrong, but it did.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Pours ruby with a nice big head. The aroma is slightly sour with dashes of malt and metal. The flavor is notably sour and slightly rotten tasting with a dash of malt and alcohol. The palate is creamy but still high carbonation.

Pours a reddish brown, with a small tan head. Smells like caramel malts. Caramel malts, a little bit of toffee flavor. Very light and thin on the palate, not terrible, but certainly nothing to get excited over.

12 oz. bottle purchased @ The Beer Store, Nashua, NH. Color was a deep brown with red highlights when held to the light. Nose is malt sweetness. Ordinary. One main flavor is caramel malt. The body is light with a thin, watery texture and a bland finish. This brewery needs to step this brew up. Really plain.
2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Crisp deep amber coloured body with a copper and ruby tinted shade along with a thinnish tan head. Aroma of roasted nuts, malt, caramel and a touch of cardboard. Medium-bodied; Light cereal maltiness with a touch of caramel and a lot of funky cardboard, metal and some odd nuts. Aftertaste shows some light sweetness, more nuts and even more stale malt flavours. Overall, a pretty disappointing beer - not a good flavour and not good aftertaste - not really worth trying, even for those lager fans. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Colorado Liquor Mart in Denver, Colorado on 14-February-2010, sampled at home in Washington on 15-April-2010.

Aroma is of fruit, aftertaste of caramel, appearance is a mid amber with a thin head and is a cream color. Overall this beer was not as good as I was looking for.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
This bottled brew from Indianapolis, IN poured a small sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored bubbles that left behind a transparent carbonated golden brown colored body and a fair lacing. The aroma was mild with sweet malty notes. The mouth feel was mildly tingly from start to finish. The flavor was slightly stale with malty sweet malt notes and was mildly acidic.
