Everything about this beer screams Caramel. The colour, the smell, and the taste all have distinct caramel tones. As one would imagine it is quite sweet, with a very mild bitter hoppy aftertaste. Non-existant head, except for a slight ring around the glass. Slightly syrupy and lightly carbonated.
A pleasent easy drinking bock, though sadly nothing stands out.

Jul 6, 2008 Bottle. Dark, copper with a fair head that disappears. Very malty flavour, something caramelish in there too, though I couldn’t quite put my finger on what it tasted like to me. Kind of thin though. Pretty solid, not spectacular, though I’d like to give it another try.

Jun 18, 2008 Deep ruby brown with a fat tan head. Aroma of sweet malts and prunes. Solid malt body with caramel and toffee and a crisp sweetness. Dried prune aftertaste. Solid Bock.

Feb 21, 2008 12oz bottle purchased from LCBO. Pours a clear, dark copper with a big head due to a poor pour, but the head goes away pretty quickly. Little lacing. Reasonable malty aroma. Flavour is malt - and that’s about it. Finishes a bit thin. I’ve not much of a bock fan, and this one doesn’t get me any closer to changing my mind.

Dec 30, 2007 Seems like a typical bock, I’m not a huge fan of the style, but what is present here is a ton of rich dark malt, and very little hop flavour. seems rich and smokey without having a heavy body like a stout. More on the red side than the brown or black, not the beer I was hoping for, but still an interesting sample.

Dec 26, 2007 [714-20070928] Tap @ C’est What 2007 FOSB (Toronto, ON). Faint doughy bread with apple spread aroma. Clear, red brown body with a small medium-lasting creamy white head. Strange Belgian wheat background flavour, grainy fruit foreground and a hint of apples. Medium body. Interesting to try.
