Strong banana and clove aroma, with a big taste of bananas, spices, candy and fruit. This was really good and smooth. Thanks to slikwily.

Wiff of hallertauer on opening-poured a rich copper color with a moderate creamy head and weak lacing. Mild but pleasant aroma-warm and toasty malt and chocolate with a yeasty note. Light to medium bodied, very smooth, malty flavors of chocolate and caramel, brown sugar sweet with a short finish, faintly bitter. Good fresh batch, and I’m glad they have reverted to brewing this as a seasonal. Fine drinkability, and my only complaint is that they forgot the goat on the label. Bottling date on neck.

UPDATED: NOV 21, 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!

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.

Pours a med / dark amber with a small head. A nice amount of carbonation also. Aroma is light malts, cocoa, and nutty hints. Flavor was real nice. Lots of caramel, malts and roasted nuts. I really liked this one.

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.

Both the head and lacing were spare. The color was a nice dark red. The beer had a nice full taste of barley and carmel.

Good malty aroma. Malt carries well throughout the brew. Finishes slightly sweet. A good Bock.
