Dark brown pour. Great taste - lots of chewy roasted malt, sweet, lots of break and toast notes as well. Maybe the body is a touch thin and watery, only compliant. Fantastic bock.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Mar 23, 2007 Bottle thanks to BUCKYBEER, brownish-red body with small head. Caramel nose with roasted malts and a sweet sour tail. Lots of carbonation. The taste has hints of dark fruits while the mouth feel is lighter then the nose lead to believe. Nice. bboeckl (135), Grafton, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Mar 20, 2007 Bottle. Poured a dark brown with some mahagony. Thick frothy light brown head. Nose was of thick oatmeal. Taste was a sweet. Lots of yummy unfermentable sugars, if that’s your thing. It isn’t particularly mine. I did not get a very bitter hoppy taste--more of a chocolage/carmel/oatmeal. This beer was VERY thick and rich. On the bottle, it says something about enjoying one before, after, or with dinner--This beer IS dinner. Have one of these and you won’t need to eat for a week! Nonetheless, the thick rich palate and great taste make it a formidable beer within its catagory. Cheers! Cliff (366), Avon Lake, Ohio, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 13, 2007 Bottle, poured a deep mahogany with bright red edges and a thick head. Rich malty aromas, caramel and toffee. Excellent flavors, their is definitely coffee and chocolate undertones, along with roasted cashews, molasses, and a bit of butterness, but it is welcome in this situation. Smooth mouthfeel and a sweet malty finish. Really good bock. TURDFERGUSON (1612), Carrboro, North Carolina, USA

Pours dark amber and brown with a little itty bitty head. Lots of roasty flavors, cocoa, nutella, Smooth and creamy at times. A fine bock, but not my favorite.

Uff-Da pours a deep dark mahogany. I got a 1 finger tan head with an aggressive pour. It faded quickly to a light coating. This beer looks really good.The head did fade faster than I would’ve liked though.
There’s a lot of scents going on with this one. Dark fruits and a sweetness. Mild chocolate and roasted malts.
Taste is good. Starts out with some cherry, coffee and roasted malts and gets sweet from there. I would like a little stronger flavor but it’s still good.
As I drink it coats the mouth. I can feel it on my teeth. It’s medium bodied but I think just a little light for the style.
The drinkability is good. Smooth and easy drinking especially for a bock.
