Apr 26, 2009 I’ve been pecking away at a six pack of this for quite some time now. Overall a very nice and rich bock beer. Ruby/brown in color with a frothy, khaki colored head and heavy lacing. The aroma is thick with raisins and figs coupled with woody molasses. Medium bodied and sweet along with a lightly boozy aftertaste. Bakery fresh raisin bread and earthy peat flavors as well as a hint of smoke. I taste some brown sugar and anise hidden in there too. Really nice beer, priced a little higher than it’s worth.

Apr 22, 2009 bottle.
Pours a clear dark amber color with a thin light tan head that clears pretty quick. Aromas of big grainy sweet bread malts with some notes of toffee, booze, and light floral bitterness. Flavor starts with big toasted malts, grainy yeast and bread, dark bread, light pipe tobacco, and a floral hop bite. Very smooth and balanced, some light boozy notes. Palate follows, being very smooth and even, some light booze and sharpness on the finish. Very tasty brew.

Apr 14, 2009 One of my favorite Troegs brews. Very smooth caramel taste throughout, with slight notes of booze. Very easy drinking. I can’t wait until the bourbon aged version of this is released!

Apr 14, 2009 pours a very deep and dark ruby with a CREAMY BEIGE head. Aroma has lots of dark fruit- raisin, plum, and prune, along with a good malt character- brown sugar especially, and even a bit of alcohol in there as well. Flavor has tons of raisin and plum as the predominant flavors. Palate is quite smooth, with a beautiful but subtle alcohol bite at the end. Excellent double bock.

Apr 14, 2009 Beautiful dark garnet pour with creamy beige head. Aroma is plum, cherry, and overall dark fruit and nectar. Caramel, brown sugar and molasses come through in the malt character. Flavor is sweet and roasty. Lots of plum with the slightest alcohol coming through at the end. Palate is silky smooth and velvety. Very nice.

Apr 10, 2009 22oz bottle thanks to machfive55, man this beer brings me back. It was one of the first craft beers I ever had, and I liked it then as much as I like it now. Pours a deep riuby color with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet caramel malts, some light fruit and nuts. A nice flavor of rich caramel malts, toasted flavors, rich sweet fruit, light bready and yeast. Very full flavored and nice.
