Sep 23, 2006 Tasted 23/09/2006. 22oz bottle from BrewNZ. Deep garnet red with a disappearing tan head. A litle cinnammon on the nose at first, then a rich underbelly of toasty continental-style malts, a little wood, tea, and a drop of alcohol. Sweet sappy malts, slightly caramlised and toasty, dominate the flavour with a light spiced hop note in the finish. At first I thought it was a little short but I dismiss this thought as I drink and the warming notes linger. A soft beer - lightly carbonated and medium weight. A little past its best but this beer is simple, elegant and most enjoyable.

Sep 18, 2006 Updated: Oct 19, 2006Bottle. Clear, deep brown color. LIght brown, rocky head fades a bit too quickly leaving no lacing. Malty raisin aroma. Medium bodied and well carbonation with fine bubbles on the palate. Malt dominant flavor, pleasantlly raisiny. Modest earthy hops. Nicely done if not awe-inspiring.

Sep 5, 2006 bomber via trade with kenb. Aroma: Nice caramel malt aroma with some toffee undertones. Some light toast aroma and a bit of alcohol. A touch of hop spiciness in the background. Appearance: Dark reddish brown in color and pretty clear. Head was tan with a light red tint. Head was full and frothy, but dissipated quickly. Nice lacing. Flavor: Light toastiness with a sweet caramel malt flavor. Again, getting a slight spiciness from hops and a bit of a floral note, as well. Besides these light flavors, no hop flavor. Palate: Medium-light body. Moderate carbonation. Nice clean finish. Overall: A straight ahead bock with no surprises. A touch light in mouthfeel, but besides that, quite good.

Sep 1, 2006 Pours a dark, rich almost root beer color. Aromas of dark malts, yeasty notes, fruit, and alcohol. Flavor is alcoholic fruit and spice with a bittersweet finish.

Aug 19, 2006 Bottle from Ken (kenb) Thanks! Pours out a dark brown color, tan head. Smell is malty, rich, hoppy, and sweet. Taste is similar, rich and creamy. Reminded me alot of Dead Guy, but not as hoppy. Pretty easy to drink, a rare treat.
