3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the Flying Saucer in Fort Worth.
The beer pours a medium brown color with a tan head. The aroma is full of caramel and toffee malt with a little bit of dark fruit mixed in. There is also a little bit of alcohol in the aroma.
The flavor is also pretty good. I get a lot of toasted malt, with some caramel and toffee mixed in. There is a little bit of chocolate and some pecan and hazelnut notes.
Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Bottle courtesy Fratto. Very glad to see this. Pours a murky orangish brown color with a brown type head. Aroma is sweet chocolate, nuts and roasty notes. Has the typical Rahr flavor, possibly from the house yeast. Chocolaty flavor with some roasted notes. Yeasty finish.

22 oz. Bomber
Nutty malt with hints of roast and caramel and just enough hops to balance the sweetness. Medium body, palate starts soft and moves quickly into some fizz.
Good solid beer. Nothing over the top but easy drinking and enjoyable.

3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 8/20
Smokey, toasted malts, caramel and just enough hops to keep the sweetness at bay! Very crisp, clean and refreshing. This dark malty lager is just strong enough to make for a brew with a little bit of weight but nothing heavy. This is an easy drinking brew and a fine example of a traditional bock.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle from local bottle shop. rated by style.
pours a dark burnt amber with about a finger of head.
nose is bready with a lot of malt. almost smells like a bakery. kinda nice though.
taste is unlike the nose, i actually get a bit of coffee that mixes with the caramel tasting malt, and it has a nice "green" finish that is similar to parsley believe it or not. hops are not terribly present, as for the style, but I cant help but attribute the green finish to the hops, as there is nothing else it could be.
mouthfeel is medium with nice carbonation.
this is a nice example of the style... well done, but to be honest, it is a bock... not really all that impressive of a style to begin with, but this one is well done.
