4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
In 22oz bottle. Great Bock style beer, right up there with their German counterparts, but probably even smoother as I can get this beer fresher than the German stuff. Becoming my favorite brewery!
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Nose is chocolatey, roasty, with light caramel and earthy hops as well. Pours dark brown, great head and lace, nice reddish undertones. Roasted malts, a touch of coffee, chocolate, light sweetness to balance, earthy bitterness in the finish. Clean finish, nice dryness, medium bodied well made lager. Nice.
4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Let it be known that Heater Allen is making great beer. Not IPAs, not Imperial Stouts, not sours -- so what? Frickin lagers baby, done right. The bock is full flavored, smooth, and full of caharacter. Great bock. Who else even makes a real bock beer anymore?
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
I’m not a big bock fan, but gave this a whirl recently. Colour... garnet with no head. Nose... whisps of anise and toffee. Palate... moderately frothy, more anise than in the nose, a dollop of molasses, some cocoa pods and vanillin and a short, bittersweet finish.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
22 oz. bottle courtesy of a trade with DA. Pours a mostly clear deep brown with golden red highlights along the edges. Moderate off-white head that lasted through the first quarter of the glass and left light lace. Pleasant aroma of malt with a few notes of chocolate and tobacco. The flavor is malty with more tobacco than the aroma along with some mild roast. A touch of chocolate in the flavor as well. Mild bitterness at the finish. Medium bodied. No problems here.
