12oz bottle. Reddish amber, large frothy head that goes away fast. Spicy aroma, smooth malty finish, low carbonation, a little mouth stripping going on here. Somewhat devoid of flavor. It looks and smells good but ends up being a dud.

Weird to find this served in a deli up on Montrose and Ashland. Dark amber pour. Grainy flavor...sweet and cloying. The bitterness is not only "not excessive" it is non-existant.

Pours a dark amber color with very little head, but that could be because it was a really bad pour by the bartender. Nose of a caramely, grainy, malt sweetness. Kind of a flat taste. A little bit of bitter flavor, but there was just a weird skunk to it. Pretty thin body compared to what I think of as a bock.

Great beer, if you like a amber lager, this is it, slightly hoppy but so nicely balanced iwth the carmel, honey and flavor of a "bock". Great for a few beers, then wears a bit thin, but hey what doesn’t...P.S. the old original bock, was a real bock, even better than this. long gone

Had this while visiting Dallas. I don’t remember much about it, so its definitely a "no go" for me.

Easily my favorite beer. Pours a dark amber color into a glass with a medium, quick dissolving head. Refreshing and light tasting yet robust with no hops. Finishes clean and smooth.

I guess if you’re grading on the curve, this isn’t a terrible beer. But it isn’t a very good one, either. Poured from the bottle a tea-like brown, with an OK head. Overall impression of aroma and taste was of an average, if a bit stronger, Joe Six-Pack beer -- nothing really to either love or hate. Tasted bland and became flat very quickly. Not one we’d buy again.
