Drank it out of the bottke, so I cant comment on the appearance. Aroma is malty with some scents of alcohol. Flavor is a smooth and malty with a creamy texture and noticeable alcohol presence. Not overly complex, but quite tasty.

draft at barrington brewfest. basically just tasted like alcohol. had a little bit of taste on top of that. not too bad.

I enjoyed this beer and it kinda rocked me as I didn’t initially realize the alcohol content. But nothing super distinguishable about this bock that I could put my tongue on except the creamy, milky texture which I rather enjoyed. A good beer but I don’t drink a ton of bocks so I’m not the one to ask.

Delicious and f*ck off strong. I’m a Minnesotan, so I may be a bit partial to our Summits. Sure wish she wasn’t seasonal.

UPDATED: NOV 9, 2006 Served on tap at Bubba Gumps Shrimp Restaurant in MOA Bloomington, Mn. Pours with one finger white head that goes to a ring leaving a good lace. Chrystal clear amber color. Light carbonation and medium bodied. Sweet malty nose. Starts with with a good balance of hops and malt but a lingering bitter finish. Bottle - 11/9/2006 Starts sweet apple/caramel flavor, cidery finish is not bitter like it was on-tap, maybe the aging helped. $1.79 for a 12oz bottle from John’s Grocery Iowa City, Ia.

(12oz bottle) Clear amber body topped by a medium off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, caramel, light honey. Taste is moderately sweet, caramel, some honey, light alcohol, herbal. Medium body, light chewiness.

very pretty, clear copper/orange with a dense off white head. clean toasty malt nose. sweet malt bready start is well balanced by a good whack of spicy hops. really well balanced for a style that can be overbearingly sweet.

Pours amber brown with light head. Aroma of caramel malt, honey and a light nuttiness. Slightly creamy, with a lighter body and a bready caramel flavor... hint of grains.
