3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
What this beer lacks in aroma, it makes up for in taste and drinkability. The aroma is not as strong as others in this category, but has malt present. It pours a very deep amber, or light black, and the head didn’t last. There is a hint ( actually more than a hint ) of cherries in the taste, as well as some chocolate. The beer is nicely balanced. I enjoyed it.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle poured a very transparent orangey/brown beer with a fast, light-tan head. Matching weak, caramel malt aroma and flavor with a watery texture and slightly sour finish. Affordable, but... Point? Well... forgettable.

Soft,but pleasant and distinct malt aroma, intial light malt taste,with a backwash of cherry chocolate,that is very enjoyable , not as bold as the best bocks,but you could drink a couple of these at a sitting

UPDATED: MAR 16, 2006 Rerate with the 2006 version. Light brown with amber showing through when held to the light. The head was a light khaki color. The aroma is bubblegum and caramel. The taste is bubblegum with a hint of maraschino cherries. There is a light toasted caramel throughout and in the aftertaste. Finishes clean and light. A decent brew for spring.

12 oz bottle pours a clear dark amber with a nice light brown head that leaves some lacing in my glass. Fruity cherry and chocolate aroma, bread and caramel flavors, medium bodied with a soft and full mouthfeel, finishes with a mild sweetness, a very nice bock.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Caramel hued with beautiful ruby highlights topped by a small fizzy off-white head which faded and left minmal lace and a light oily ring. The aroma has notes of caramelized and bready malts, floral and peppery hops, earthy yeast esters and an wet cardboard vapor if deeply inhaled. The taste is straight forward, sweet malts with a subdued finishing bitterness, fig and some spice lingering. The aftertaste is actually better than the initial taste! The feel is somewhat lush and sticky but has a good amount of carbonation to keep the palate refreshed. Sometimes this beer dazzles and other times it just becomes rather boring...all in one bottle. I just don’t know what to make of it.

thanks Duane, poured a clear brown, good foamy head. Aroma of sweet malts. Taste is light, missing some of the bock normal offerings. Nothing special, no lingering taste at all.
