3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
500 ml can from LCBO. Ruby-brown colour with a wispy tan head. Aroma is slightly roasty with a bitter background. Sweet caramel-malt flavour with some dark fruitiness and a good finish. Body is a little thin, but it’s otherwise pretty decent and would make a good dark session beer. Can’t believe it’s taken me so long to try this one!
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tasted in Toronto. Obtained from LCBO. Tasted from 500ml tin. Tasted in dimpled mug. Appearance is deep brown with little or no head. Aroma is of bitter sweetness, almost molassis with a slight bitter scent. Flavour is fairly sweet with a mollassis candy flavour and subtle malt finish.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Can: Poured a dark brown beer with a nice above average head with good retention. Aroma is a mix of malt and mild sweetness. Taste was quite nice with some smooth malt and a subtle sweet finish with a good banana taste at the ends. Alcohol is well hidden which is always nice. The thin body and the subtle watery aftertaste was bit of a letdown but overall, I think this was a nice offering from a macro brewers – a bit underrated I feel…
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: SEP 13, 2004 Canned...poured a dark clear chestnut red...smallish tan head, aromas of spices and sweet malts. Smooth mothfeel...nice mellow malt body and a cleanish finish with a sweet doughy after taste...not bad for a German mega brewer...fairly satisfying.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Brown color with a thin offwhite head. Decent aroma of dark fruits and malt. Weak flavor of malt and dark fruits. Bitter finish. Light body, medium carbonation, slightly watery. Not too bad, but still it lacks character and the body is definitely too light for a bock.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
definitely malty, tastes of carmelized sugars and initial taste is very stout like tends to go south from there.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Dark brown in colour with a malty, burnt sugar aroma. It had a very sweet fake-grape flavor to it, almost like grape kool-aid or grape crush. Hardly any hop presence at all, and very little carbonation. This isn’t really like any other bocks I’ve tried before, and I can’t say that I really liked this one.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tallboy can. Dark chestnut color, thin tan head, fully diminishing. Aroma is pretty malty, a little sweet, some metal though. Flavor was fairly sweet, a bit of caramel but again I got some metallic notes. Pretty thin. Not bad, better than their maibock.
