ok, let me start by saying, i didn’t really give this beer a fair chance because I drank it from the bottle. But being that it’s a michelob, i don’t think it’s going to make a big difference. The aroma is thin caramel, the flavour is slightly sweet, malty, and caramel. Very watery. Pretty much what I expected. Good drinkability though.

Jul 26, 2008 A little better than the regular Michelob, but not much. Appears to be just a darker colored version of the regular one... maybe some coloring dye ? Still its more substantial than any other AB beer... maybe their best.... I would not drink this one again.... unless I had to.

Jul 21, 2008 Nice dark lager from A-B. Not a lot of flavor or character but no bad qualities either. Easy drinker, nice balance, some hop bitterness under the sweet roasted malts. Good beer with a meal.

Jul 13, 2008 a nice light dark pour with a decent creamy head. the flavor is lacking although its good... just watered down too much. a good alterrnative beer. its always cosistantly good. but not great. about 5 times better on draft. in my opinions its abs best effort so far.

Jul 10, 2008 Deep amber, nice head.
Not much in the way of aroma, except faint malt.
Nice, malty flavor and rather sweet.
All in all, not bad for a macro.

Jul 6, 2008 Amber Bock opens with a light, frothy head which dissipates quickly. The aroma nicely balances caramel malt and noble hops. While not very complex, the caramel malt comes through cleanly, with light but firm hops and just a whiff of lager-yeast sulfur. The mouthfeel has plenty of body and leaves some malt sweetness. While not my first choice, Anheuser-Busch still makes very good lagers when they don’t add rice!
