dwaggs2 (534), Lee’s Summit, Missouri, USA Dec 15, 2008 Bottle. Pours a brown color with a two finger head. Aroma is malt. Taste is not very good. Not a whole lot there. Not worth the price. troopie (851), USA Dec 15, 2008 Bottle. Poured Dark red brown with a small head and no lacing. Aroma is grassy and slightly malty, like a lager. Thin flavour with some slight caramel note. Slight but lingering finish, with a bit of bitterness. The previous rater is right, this is not a bock, this a dark lager, better than most industrial lagers, but this is not a bock. tarheels86 (704), Washington DC, USA Dec 7, 2008 On tap. Pours a dark amber with a modest beige head and some great lacing. Aroma is incredibly sweet with whiffs of toffee and caramel. Taste is a little watery and similar to Yuengling albeit a bit heavier- very much like artificial maple syrup. Long, sweet aftertaste. Not offensive, smooth and drinkable. But this is not a bock. fidelis83 (709), Clinton, Iowa, USA Dec 1, 2008 Pours clear brown with a thin ashy tan head. Aroma is faint but mostly adjunct with maybe a little caramel. Flavor is more adjunct kind of sour, grainy malts. Finish is tart and metallic, in a bad way. Was one of the first "dark beers" I tried back in (maybe) my underage years thought I’d give it another shot, it’s still not very good. Way overcarbonated too, but that’s probably a good thing, because you’de probably want those malt notes washed out. Botnik (102), Carrollton, Texas, USA Nov 20, 2008 If you can’t get past this one, you’re doomed to drinking MGD or gosh forbid, Coors Light. Yes, this is the training beer for Texans who want something better. But I digress. Darker and more flavorful than pale lagers. kubeckj (9), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA does not count Nov 20, 2008 not to impresive of a beer, lite on the flavor. kind of a clear carmely color and not to much favor very dissapointing dm9831 (1167), Monee, Illinois, USA Nov 17, 2008 clear, dark brown color, slight tan head that quickly dissipates. airy, almost non-existant, sweet malt and corn aroma. flovar is slight, slight earthy malt hint, with a trace of corn syrup...otherwise, nothing else. light bodied, corn syrup finish. pretty pitiful. i checked for an expiration date on the label, but didn’t see one. if the brewer was aiming for frizzy water, then he hit his mark. bp (451), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 31, 2008 Bottle: pours a dark amber with a quickly disappearing white head, aroma is malty and sweet (has that low quality smell), taste is malty with plenty of carbination yet it somehow leaves a flat taste in your mouth. Downtown San Antonio sucks for beer. This and Fat Tire were the two best singles I could find to bring back to my hotel.
