BeerBelcher (930), Columbus, Ohio, USA Oct 22, 2007 I’m not the biggest fan of this style (or bock beers in general), but I found this one to be very pleasant, and I’d recommend it.
This beer poured a dull but clear orange-copper color that was quite bright. The beer had a nice head of medium sized bubbles that stuck around for quite awhile. Aroma was malty and cereal-y. Flavor was not overly sweet and cereal-y (what I don’t like about bock beers!) but was lightly caramel-y and also had some sour notes and abundant maltiness. Mouthfeel was rich but not over-the-top thick. I really enjoyed it. ucusty (1871), Wake Forest, North Carolina, USA Oct 21, 2007 pours a transparent shade of copper with lucious tan head and a litlle spotty lacing. Malty aroma with hints of fresh baked bread. Slight smokey flavors with a malty backbone. Thanks IMMY maniac (2628), Richmond, Virginia, USA Oct 17, 2007 Bottle during a BJCP training session. Clear reddish brown body with a medium creamy tan head. Sweet sugary aroma with some toastiness and light smoke. Dark malty flavor with some toastiness and almost burnt malt. Creamy mouthfeel. FrancoisMtl (61), Boisbriand, Quebec, Canada Oct 16, 2007 Bottle from zathrus13. Reddish amber colored with light beige foam that stickes to the glass. Interesting malty aroma with caramel and bready notes. Toasted and roasted flavors with some bitterness but somewhat it is lacking maltiness as I am use to in dopplebocks. This beer start strong but leave you on your appetite. I am little disapointed with its flavors. Thanks Jeff! Kinz (2179), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA Oct 16, 2007 Sampled as part of BJCP training session. Medium copper with a nice head, attractive. Aroma of sweet malts that don’t shout out, faint grassiness. Flavor is initially quite boozy, followed by malt sweetness and faint green hops on the finish. The carbonation is a touch harsh. OK, but not spectacular. I should note this isn’t exactly my favorite style either. BREWMUSKCLES (1062), New Jersey, USA Oct 13, 2007 my beer was pretty much med/dark dark brown with a barely light brown head. this is quite a nice bock almost like a hybrid. nice tingly hop character barely sweet malt back and an adequate bock caramel inpartment. no need for anything else. good fruity nose. worth bragging about. 1FastSTi (2551), Glendale, Wisconsin, USA Oct 9, 2007 Pours to a deep fired red amber body with a thin creamy ring white head. The aroma is oddly malty. Very hard to describe. Sugary caramel and light amounts of dark fruits. The flavor is a bock caramel and sweet bready malts. Average palate. Cruzan59 (197), Lititz, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 7, 2007 Draft at the Lancaster Arts Hotel bar...pours reddish-amber in color, minimal head...sweet malty aroma...flavor was sweet of dark fruit and toffee...substancial mouthfeel...quite enjoyable, although I’d be better off drinking this one not so soon after dinner.
