Thanks to Skyview for another growler. Sweet caramel and malt aroma. More of the same in the flavor, with just a touch of smoke. This is comparable to Optimator, but just a hair short of the quality of that beer. Good, style appropriate dark brown appearance and thick palate, almost like a doppelbock. One of the best brewpub-made bocks I have had.

Jun 23, 2008 This brewer does german styles well, and this is no exception - it’s not as creamy as I like my bocks, but it doesn’t have the overpowering sweetness that most have - some light caramel, and a strong nutty character - the sweetness is tempered by a light roasty character - I agree with JK, this is much like a doppel.

May 7, 2008 [growler] shared by skyview. Pours a clear dark brown with a medium tannish head. Lots of brown sugar and yeast on the nose. Medium bodied, well carbonated mouthfeel. Flavor is quite malty and a little astringent, but quite good.

May 4, 2008 [Growler, thanks Skyview!] Pours cola-brown with a light tan head. Aroma is big on caramel malt with another smell that I cannot place but that I have noticed in a few other Titletown beers. Nothing too complex in the taste either as it is also big on caramel malt. Medium mouthfeel with a long finish. A pretty simple beer, but it was quite drinkable and not bad at all.
