2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Quite strong initially but mellows as the session continues. Goes down pretty easy. OK with me. You’d never know it was over 5%!
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Draft. Lactic chocolate malt aroma. Amber with moderate head. Sweet creamy toffee malt flavor. Light astringent finish. Nicely drinkable.

Bottle to pint. Looks solid; a transparent orangish-brown with off-white lacing. Smells malty and roasty. Tastes like it smells with less roast. Average on the palate. Alright.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
on tap at Buckeye, the caramel malt overpowers this whole beer, no hops, just caramel sweetness, really really unbalanced
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Clear medium amber with a fast disappearing head and isolated specks of lace. The taste is caramel and more caramel with very little carbonation. It’s only early May, but this may be past its best-by date. Not very impressive.

UPDATED: OCT 20, 2012 Pours a clear gold/amber color with a small white head. Not what I expected this one to look like. Aroma of toasted malt and dark fruit, maybe molasses. Flavor of sweet malts, grains, grassy? Light-medium bodied, with medium carbonation and a grainy mouthfeel. Not the best bock. Rivertown is starting to show up in my area, so I hope some of their other offerings are better than this one.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Botle purchased at Party Town. Clear amber pour with a medium tan head. Malty and sweet aroma with caramel, bread and some nuts. Malty, sweet and a bit nutty flavor with a bready, sweet finish.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 16/20
Coppery-amber....with only a slight ring of white.
Scent is fruity, sweet.
Taste is caramel, fruit......actively carbonated.....
Drinks incredibly light and smooth. The alcohol content is absolutely hidden.
A really nice beer.

12oz bottle -pours amber/caramel with thin off white head. Nose is caramel malts. Flavor is more caramel malts and adds a bready character. taste is sweet but lightly at that. easy to drink. possibly my favorite Riivertown brew yet (Dunkel excluded).
