Tallahassee, Fl. - New Leaf Market - 12 oz bottle. Dark copper pour, sticky, off-white head that leaves good lacing. Rich, molasses-like aroma with hints of ripening vegetables. Rib sticking flavor with some prunes, raisins, a hint of chocolate with thte same molasses riding through the back end. Thick chewy mouthfeel. All around a most decent, stick to your ribs, bock

Jul 26, 2008 12oz single from Total Wine in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Appearance: Pours out a dark copper body with a small, scattered, white head.
Smell: Lightly toasty, sweet-smelling maltiness and spicy Noble hops with minor hint of Red Delicious apple peelings and a waft of alcohol.
Taste: Toasted malts with a tiny kick of graininess along with a fair amount of caramel sweetness. There’s a discreet Noble spicy hop character and bitterness. Slight touch of alcohol near the end. Still manages to finish fairly malty and sweet, though.
Mouthfeel: Just a hair above medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A reasonably respectable bock from dear old Mendocino.

Jul 16, 2008 Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of caramel, toffee, dark fruits, floral hops, and a hint of alcohol. Flavor pretty malty with caramel and toasted malts. Finishes with a hint of bitterness and very slight warming.Was hoping for more on the flavor and finish.
