Dec 17, 2009 cola colored with like mouthfeel. quickly dissapating head. beery taste with alcohol and some plum and raisin. touch of a hop character adds zing where carbonation would normally be. enough old time beer aroma to garner a little appreciation, that being said... its a bit too sweet.

Dec 12, 2009 Rather unappetizing watered-down cola pour, small white head, no lacing. Smoky and yeasty aroma, neither scent being especially pleasant. Predominate flavor is bitter hops, which does not work in a bock. Really thin, unpleasant mouthfeel.

Dec 11, 2009 12 oz bottle a five pack gift from pantani (He bought a sixer and hated it). Nose of caramel with a hint of cocoa. Clear light brown with a medium beige head. Flavor is lots of molasses with minor sweetness. Too molassey for me to really like it. One dimensional!

Dec 1, 2009 Brown with a thin off white head. Aroma is fruit, malt during the boil, a bit nasty... Taste is fruit, residual sugar, malty, light alcohol. Beer seems to be very unrefined and I believe my first homebrew was far better then this... Sad.

Nov 30, 2009 Not bad, but not necessarily great. The sweet aftertaste is pretty decent, but overall there’s nothing in the malt/hop kingdom that truly stands out about it. The price was right. Overall, I’d say get it to try it once or twice - but you won’t be fiending for this every week.

Nov 24, 2009 Bottle: Pours a dark mahogany color with a light tan head. The nose is roasty with lots of sweet dark fruits and light caramelized molasses. The flavor is sweet and thin with a dry finish, the sweetness is there, but the body isn’t. It’s like a diet soda, or splenda, all up front but nothing in the back. A refreshing roastiness in the tail though and it’s still drinkable.
