12oz bottle. Poured a clear ruddy orange-brown color. Head was thick and tan with good retention. Smelled of subdued chocolate, nuts, and black bread. Dry up front with fairly light body. There was some water-down raisin and fig flavors with a chocolate accent and delicate sweetness at the end. Not terrible.

Apr 20, 2008 Deep amber with a medium off-white head. Aroma of caramel, bread, sweet malts and Lake Michigan (fish). Light on taste and lacking any substance this is a run of the mill bock. Finishes with a peppery finish that leads way to a mouth pursing dry aftertaste.

Mar 28, 2008 Tasted 3/28/08. 12oz bottle. Filtered with a dark bronze hue. Finger width of khaki colored head. Sweet malt aromas. Notes of cinnamon and sweet breads. Medium bodied and malt driven. Smooth and easy. Touch dry in the finish. Nice dark bready flavor. Mild effervescence and slight hops. Touch cocoa pops up somewhere in the middle of the palate. Nice session, inexpensive and high drinkability.

Jan 6, 2008 Draft at Baumgartner’s in Monroe. Dark clear rusty red color. Tangy scotch ale smells and flavors along with some plastic malts and cheap adjunct goodness. Twangy, tangy, simple and lightly rough on the tongue from the malt (husky). Simple, wet, common stuff here.
