COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
This legendary beer style has a richness of history to match its rich flavor. The beer was named in Einbeck, Germany during a city celebration where the strong dark beer was being served. It seems that a bock (the German word for goat) entered the grounds unseen. Soon after, one of the villagers was knocked to the ground. The bock was standing nearby and to this day it is still unclear whether it was the beer, or the bock, which leveled the villager. <br /> Ingredients: Pale, Caramel, Cara Pils and Black malts, imported Hallertau and domestic Cascade hops. <br /> Available January through April.

Bottle from stykzone, thanks a million Dave!! Pours a nice amber color with a pretty small white head. Aroma is full of malt, caramel, nuts and some oxidized metallic smell. Flavor is somewhat metallic with caramel, light hops and some nice nutty flavors. Metallic flavors and aroma stop this from being a pretty damn good beer.

Skyview (4738) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - FEB 7, 2009
On draught during Winterfest 2009 in St Paul, MN. Pours a clear dark reddish brown brew with a thin beige head that slowly dissipates to a thin off-white ring. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, chocolate, a hint of berry and some citrus zest. Taste is medium to full bodied, some carbonation with flavors of roasted dark malt with chocolate, some caramel, and a hint of dark pitted fruits. Finish is semi-sweet with a malty caramel aftertaste with very little bitterness. Would love trying this beer via hot poker method during the Schell Bockfest this year.

badgerben (4092) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - MAR 7, 2009
Dark red, brownish color with a very thin head. Aroma of sweet malt and toffee. Strong, very strong, fresh grain taste. It’s like jumping into a combine after the harvest. Some toasted malt and caramel as well. Distinct yet light floral hop finish. Really quite good. Schells was always a decent brewery, but they have gotten a lot better recently.

Sampled at a beer tasting at a Hy Vee Wine & Spirits. Considering it’s Schell, this really wasn’t too bad and almost on style.

Silphium (2711) - East Lansing, Michigan, USA - MAR 2, 2010
Bottle. Beautiful translucent sanguine body, thin tight buff head. Burnt caramel nose with toffee and toast, grassy hops. Toasty body with tart burnt caramel and sweet brown sugar, and hints of candy corn. Long, leafy finish. Tasty.

esjaygee (2496) - Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA - MAR 28, 2009
Clear copper with a creamy quickly dissolving tan topper. Aroma of toasted grain, pale malts and caramel. Taste of toasted English malts, toffee, caramel and a touch of alcohol. Goes down very easy and finishes up a bit dry.

Bottle in trade from br3meister. Thanks! Pours a dark nutty amber with no lasting head. Smell is slightly sweet, maple like malt. Taste is some dark nutty malt with some toasty caramel and balancing hops without much bitterness. Medium to thin body and normal carbonation. Solid, beer and a style that I’m not too familiar with.
