Had this as part of the Brewmasters program at Sea World. Pours a mostly translucent deep amber with a medium creamy off white head. Aroma of molasses, grains, a touch of citrus and doughy. Flavor was about the same...kind of thin and watery to be a true Bock beer.

Michelob actually made a decient tasting beer but it is no Bock...maybe has some traits of a bock but thats it...oook, onto the beer.....It poured a nice dark amber color and actually had a nice off white head with ok retention. Not much aroma but you can pick up some dark roast notes. Flavor is somewhat weak but it’s there....slight dark roast taste...slightly, slightly sweet...You can also detect some bitter.....medium-high carbonation.......The beer says 5.2% ABV......but thats not from pure malt.....or there would be more flavor....Over all, I wouldn’t slap this out of my buddy’s hands.....good entry level dark lager. Not bad at all for a Macro.....

AB took one of their terrible watered down macros and added a little flavor and a little body in an attempt to make something that resembles a real beer.

Nose smells like caramel and toffee, with some coffee. Tastes is of burnt caramel, and syrup. Blah. Not going to waste the calories finishing this brew.

i really liked this. I have enjoyed Michelob for years but this by far better !! Firm and a refreashing head when poured into a glass. Nice color

Ok, shoot me, I like this beer. I know, I know "OMG WHUT R U SAYING THIS IS A MACRO!!" But this is pretty good for what it is, cheap to order ina bar, and tastes a damn site better than more of the watered down macro offerings. Hell, I’d rather have this than some of the craftbrew stuff I’ve drunk before. Not too shabby, and probably should be higher than 15%.

I had 4 32oz mugs of this at a bar in East County (if you’re from San Diego you know what I’m talking about), woke up naked on a strangers bathroom floor.

Dark brown color makes it look good, but it is rather weak. One of the more overrated beers out there, but on the upside it makes bars with horrible beers carry it so that you have at least one non light option on tap.
