dark ruby brown with great lacing under a huge foamy beige head. aroma is malty with lots of dark fruit(raisin, purple grape, prune), and bits of spice. flavor is malty with burnt caramel, nougat, prune juice, and raisin. hints of spice(clove). foamy over-carbonated palate.

Poured a dark brown with a big light tan head. Aroma is of caramel, mild chcolate, and maltiness. Flavor is pretty strong, lots of malts and some creamy caramel and some dark fruiots in there as well. not too bad.

500ml bottle served in a weizen glass. Tons of carbonation, massive head. I had to wait for it to settle to fill the glass. Poured a dark amber. Pretty restrained aroma of clove and some malt. I got a slightly metallic note that wasn’t pleasant. Medium bodied with a decent malt backbone. A bit of spice in the finish. I was pretty disappointed with this. I’m a big bock fan, and I was really looking forward to trying this. It just seemed very bland.

Bottled. Deep brown with garnet when held to light. The large head is light tan and long lasting. The aroma has some almonds and bread dough. There is also some brown sugar covered cherry. The taste has some cherry cough syrup and pecans. There is a little bit of cinnamon spice as it warms. Highly carbonated, I found the mouthfeel a little annoying.
