May 21, 2008 Bottle. Pours with a brown body and a two finger head. Aromas are leather and toffee with a bit of a nutty direction. Flavor was pleasant enough, but kind of weak. Had that nice tangy bock flavor and a toffee body. OK, but I would say I’ve had better (and fuller-bodied) bocks.

Apr 5, 2008 Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark red-brown color with a medium sized dark tan head. The aroma was sour, tangy and nutty with hints of fruit and sweet caramel. The flavor was yeasty, sour and tangy. Rather richly malty with notes of caramel, raisin and other ripe fruits. Very nice!

Nov 30, 2007 Had this beer on 8/6/2005. Aroma is a sweet roasted malt scent. Color is deep amber/brown with good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is rich and sweet. Stating with a bold medium body it goes down with a sweetness comeing on. Finish comes in rich, but not heavy, with a sweet lightly roasted malt flavor and is backed by a mild even bitterness. Overall its very good, a near perfect for Spring. Its bold enough for a cool Spring day and yet refreshing enough for a warm Spring day.

Oct 16, 2007 Bottled. Poured deep reddish-brown with a short, but well-retained cap of off-white head. The aroma picked up well-aged caramel, accented by drier herbal and floral notes.. simple, sweet, and quite alluring. The flavor wasn’t bad by any means, but definitely seemed like it had a whole bunch of simple sugars accenting the toasted caramel at the core.. a little toffee and chocolate sweetness at the edges along with primarily herbal bitterness.. some warm alcohol notes right at the edges and at the finish. Quite tasty. About medium-bodied and syrupy at times on the palate.. nicely balanced. I really enjoyed this.

Sep 9, 2007 Picked up a single 12-oz bottle from Flanagan’s Liquors in Appleton, Wisconsin. Pours a coppery amber brew with a creamy off-white head that quickly dissolves to a fine film and ring. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, some roasted nuts, with some mild flowery hops. Taste is medium bodied, lightly carbonated with a caramel, butter and honey flavor. Finish is slightly sweet with a light chocolate and green beans aftertaste. This is a first bock beer I’ve tried with some vegetable character in the finish.
