Pours a clear but deep amber with thin eggshell covered head. Aroma is malty with some spicy tones too. Nicely balanced. Flavor is just sweet, not much more complexity than that.

Local Belmont bottle. This was tasty and thankfully less than 6ABV because it was easy to drink it in copious amounts. Tasty, malty and sweet. Cool winter beer that did not focus on spices.

Not much aroma, but could be me. Wonderful malt flavor, heavy body. Pretty good ale.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Riley’s in Madison. Pours a mildly thick broth. It did have some bulk to the mouthfeel, a tad sour rather than bitter, though hops shine at end of each sip. Initially tasty and then drinkability elapsed as I found it far from complex. Carbonation a tad aggressive.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Serving glass: Poured from bottle into Summit Pint glass.
Appearance: Chocolate brew with thin off-white head - no lacing.
Aroma: Malty aroma of doughy bread, toast and cherry countered by a light noble hop touch.
Taste: Very full-flavored lager with elements of bread, chocolate and cherry. The noble hops make their presence known and provide a nice spicy kick that lasts long after each sip. However, after a while, the spiciness begins to detract slightly with too much pepper.
Palate: Moderate carbonation, medium to full body for a lager, clean dry finish.
Overall: Very nice bock overall, despite the hops becoming slightly distracting. Drinking it while eating (I had cheese) seems to improve the malts slightly and lower the spiciness somewhat.
