Jan 28, 2007 Pour is a dark brown with a average tan head. Aroma is a nice mix of sweet malts and caramel. Flavor is a bit watery and weak. Some malts but not nearly enough for the style. Some spice is at the swallow but nothing to powerful. 92 cents at trader joes.

Jan 20, 2007 Caramel malt prevail on the nose. Red brown in color with a light tan healthy head. Gentle carbonation. Very nice caramel malted taste with a slight bitter ending. Easy frothyness on the tongue. A dark and smokey disposition make this bock a nice seasonal mood drink. Some may not like this beer, but I suspect they would be pilsner lovers.

Jan 17, 2007 Good introduction for those making the leap from macro to specific styles. Plus, the best part of this is that it costs next to nothing at 91 cents. Is it a world beater selection of a doppelbock.....absolutely not. Is it better than other cheap versions such as huber, Leine’s, et al? Absolutely. Decent malt character in line with what a bock should be and well balanced with a light smattering of hops. The only thing holding this back is a lack of "oomph" as other raters have put it. The body is on the thin side and they did skimp on the malt. However, for just a few cents what do you expect? The price alone makes this worth a try.

Jan 7, 2007 Thanks to one of the guys I live with. Pours a clear but dark red color, small to no off white head. Aroma is cherry pits, musty and biscuity like a bowl of cereal in salt water. Drinking this is more salt and dark fruit, decent finish. Needs more mmmmph...
