On nitro @ Glacier. Pours clear dark brown with a thick creamy tan head. Light aroma of chocolate, dark fruit, vanilla and light wood and bourbon scents. Taste follows, sweet chocolate and vanilla flavors dominate with some woodsy slightly sour flavors. Medium body with a very smooth creamy mouth feel. This is yet another excellent Bock from Glacier, they really know how to make dark lagers.

FoBAB Chicago, 2007. Nice dark brown color, with a stiff tan head. I don’t get much of a Jim Beam presence here. What I do get is a fine taste of strong bock beer. Dark fruity malts with plum and raisins, light maple-flavored pipe tobacco. Is this not served in their Anchorage location?

Sampled at the Festival of Wood and Barrel Aged Beer at Goose Island, Nov.11, 2005. Dark brown to black lager with thin moka head. Aroma of brown sugar and prunes. Smokey malt noted in mouth, with prunes and vanilla notes. Medium bodied.
