Pours reddish copper with a short-lived off-white head. Sweet malts dominate the aroma with light grains and hops in the background. Malt dominates the taste as well with a good bit of fruit undertones, strawberries maybe. Definitely on the sweeter side of things. Highly carbonated with a smooth, creamy mouthfeel. This is my first St. Arnold’s brew and I actually think it’s quite drinkable.

Aug 1, 2008 12oz bottle courtesy of zinister. After a strong dose of malt sweetness a caramel aroma emerged near the finish. Amber body with beige head. Sweet heavy filling malt flavor for the most part. Some sweet fruits near the finish with the caramel. Beer is a good dose of sweet malt and that lingers on the palate.

Jun 2, 2008 Aroma is of caramel malt with hints of brandy. Taste is a strong sweet caramel and lots of peppery alcohol. Very dry, crisp mouthfeel. Tastes as if it may have been aged a bit in a barrel. Strong hop bitterness. Lacks complexity and depth of character. Drinkable.

May 9, 2008 Clear amber color with a two finger off white head that audibly shrank to nothing. Sweet grain nose with some hair spray. Sweet beer with some pit fruit, caramel, and a toasted grain note. Not sure what a Heller bock is, but this is okay enough.
