"Well heee-haw……it’s time for a Red neck Texan bock!!!! Brown body and a small tan cap that reduced to a thin bubble ring very quickly. Aroma is so very faint having a hard time picking up anything, chocolate maybe, so compost possibly, way to mild to get any kind of useable aroma. No bad smell really it just has no smell. On my first sip the only thing that came to mind was “crap I still got an entire glass to drink”. Some mild skunk, dark roasted malts that turn slightly sour. This is swill, well high quality swill but it still be swill. I got nothing good to say about this except at least a can cross Texas of my list of states sampled now."

Bottle. Nothing too interesting, here. Slight malt taste and flavor. Non-threatening. Not too bad. Probably wonderful for those who exclusively drink macro.

Tasted in Amarillo TX. This is nothing to write home about. The aroma is of darker sweet malts. It does not have any hop character what so ever. It is a very light beer, that is pretty watery. The plus is that there is very light roasted notes. In the dark lager style but could have more body and a higher abv to be a bock. It’s the dark beer for Bud/Coors/Miller Light fans.

Aroma is kinda malty with a some hops and a yeasty smell. Pretty earthy and overall pretty decent smell. Appearance is a dark amber/brown with an off white head that disappears. Flavor is kinda hoppy and spiked with something that I don’t know how to describe. Some malty stuff too. Goes down decent. Overall, it satisfies and then gives you a little extra to enjoy. Good stuff.

Nothing too special about this brew. Most micros give hints of flavours throughout, or a nice consistent flavour. This beer delivers neither, close to a bud product.

Bottle - I am not a fan of many dark beers, and this was no different. I was not impressed.
