By far the best beer in the 6 pack. Aroma is melange of malt with some caramel and some nice melanoidins. flavor is nicely integrated and balanced with caramel, dark bread, and a balancing bitterness. medium bodied. Very nice drinking beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
12oz bottle 4/17/09 (Binny’s Naperville)-Pours a dark amber body with a huge off white head. Aroma of roasted malt, nuts, and caramel. Taste begins with malt, caramel, and cherry. It finishes with more sweetness. This medium bodied bock is very well balanced and I agree with egajdzis that this is definitely a different tasting bock but still very tasty.

Poured a clear dark amber color with a small, off white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of caramel, nuts, roast, and some toasted malt. Taste of sweet caramel malts, toast, nuts, dried fruits, and a bit of alcohol in the finish. An interesting bock, not like one i’ve had before, but I liked it.

3.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
UPDATED: APR 18, 2009 Pours hazy brow with thin white head. Smells of roasted malt and sort of sweet. Tastes sweet and slightly roast. It has decent body and finishes smooth. It is decent, but and lacks any great qualities.

Pours a dark amber brown with medium tan head. Aroma strong of malt, dried fruit, and biscuit. Taste is slightly sweet, but otherwise no big surprise. Mouthfeel is creamy to slightly oily. Solid beer.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Ruby copper brown. Nice looking tan head. Smells of wheat, spice, bread, pale. and dark fruity malt. Taste is sweet and malty. Bread, caramel, roast, nuttiness, and very subtle grape and cherry. Mouth is pretty agreeable. Good dry finish. Slick. Decent. Would like to try side by side with last years’ weizenbock. This and the DIPA make the 6er a re-buy.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
12 oz bottle courtesy of the pack retrieved from Binnys (Willowbrook, IL). Pours a nice dark tea brown, letting light through and largely transparent, with decent tannish head with some lacing. Aromas are malty, but light, pushing light toasty, Sam Adams yeast, and a mellow sweetness. Initial is medium bodied, pushing dark toasty malts emphasis, with light dark fruits, subtle spice, slight sugar sweetness, and decent bitterness to balance on the backend. Malty, yet with a good finishing balance. Not really my style, but a respectable beer. Cheers!
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Brown ruby pour, very clear with tan thin head. Light caramelly nose with earthy notes, some fruit. Taste is light, some what caramelly with leafy hops. A few fruity notes in there, but mostly kind of watery. Mouthfeel is also a bit thin. Not all that impressed.
