Nov 9, 2007 Pours a rusty red, dark brown head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is massively sweet, brown sugar, maple syrup notes, and a sligh, peaty smoke note. Flavor is big, initially very sweet, malty to the point of being hot, caramel, toffee, lemon, yeasty notes, nuttiness, and a very bitter, toasty finish. Not at all sweet, but finely balanced. Bravo!

Jan 20, 2008 What everyone else has said pretty much. It has a caramel, milky-creamy palate taste to it. A different tatste to it, but not in a bad way. I especially like it, but not for everoyne.

Jun 5, 2008 Ruby red with quickly diminishing beige head. Aroma of caramel, toasted malts, bread and light fruit. Heavily malted smooth body tasting of caramel, sweet malts, light fruit. A little on the sweet side and very lightly carbonated.

Oct 27, 2007 Pour is a nice dark red with a average tan head. Aroma is a very nice caramel with some roasted malts and a deffinate alcohol aroma. Flavor is malty, malty and malty! 8 different malts use in this one and they really come to the forefront. True to the style with low hop bitterness and a nice creamy finish. Decent bock with plenty of flavor and aroma.

Nov 17, 2007 Mahogany colored, thin, loose beige head. Chocolatey, herbal, slightly medicinal, piney aroma. Smooth palate. Chocolatey, ar first, then note of rye or pumpernickel bread. it reminds me of dark toast. Very slightly sweet finish. Very enjoyable. Thanks to theisti for the trade!
