Solid choice when at Wasatch, but seems to fit more easily in the Brown category. Nose of worked malts and walnut shells; flavors of the same with dark roast and mild hops.

On tap at the Octoberfest in Snowbird Ski Resort near Salt Lake City. Pours a dark amber body with a huge and creamy beige head. The aroma is tons of malts, some caramel and fruit too. The taste was excellent; smooth and powerful malt flavors, some nutty and toasted aspects, and a bunch of spices, mostly cloves and nutmeg. A slight banana too, and overall and awesome mouthfeel; creamy and full. A very good example of the style. Pure goodness.

This was a great bock. True to style and had all that was needed for a great beer. Loved the malts and the off flavors assoctiated with this beer. A deep dark brown color I loved the flavors this gave with the food. A beer to drink.

Growler: A deep red amber colour in the glass with a large, soft creamy head. Malty aroma with honey and raisins. Smooth creay mouthfeel with a very lively carbonation (especially from a growler). An interesting smokey character is present on the palate which blends with some nutty malts and a woody component and balances the lingering bitterness well. A very pleasant surprise indeed! Thanks mom.

Growler. An nice copper-hued body with a huge, off-white head. The carbonation is staggering, considering the growler was two months old. Smooth, malty nose with whole grain bread and slightly toasted nuts in a faint caramel sauce. The crispness at the end only lends itself to notions of hops. Full and supple in the mouth. Nice malty flavors with light hops to balance in the end. I don't have much experience with this style, but this was a hell of beer. Balance and very flavorful. Much better than my narrow mind expected from Utah.
