Surprising malty sweetness. Would have liked a bit more hops. Little lacing with chestnut color. A bit watery. It was okay.

Draft at Blue Dog. Pours hazy dark brown with ruby edges and off-khaki head. Nose is grainy corn flakey malt, yeasty brown sugar, mild figgy fruit. Tastes of corn flakes and caramel malt up front, with some earthy brown sugar and nutty and grainy notes later.

25oz bottle lurking in the back of the refrig for several months. Nice color, not much head. Nose more of hops than malt, not what I expected from a bock. Not as smooth as I expected. All in all, an OK bock. I guess. Maybe I was expecting a dopplebock kind of thing.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Rich, toffee heavy bock, lots of dark fruit, bit of graham cracker. Finish is very minerally and lightly bitter, just a touch astringent.

Draft @ BT. Dark pour with some head. Fruity, toffee, raisins, and sweet malt flavors, some yeast notes.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A nice enough dark bock. Nose of sweet malts. Dark almost chestnut, small head, good lacing. Taste consistent with nose ... sweet dark malts, caramel, touch maybe of coffee, none of the intensity of a double bock, but quite enjoyable.
