Aroma: 7 | Appearance: 7 | Mouthfeel: 7 | Flavor: 7 | Overall: 7

Brown and amber tinged body, with ok head and lace. Aromas of toasted malts, flavor follows suit with biscut, and some caramel notes. Mouthfeel is a little thin, it finishes dry. Overall a decent enough bock.

Pours a nice copper-orange with a two-finger white head. A bit lighter in color and texture than most bocks, I've had, however it was very refreshing without being overpowering. Nicely balanced in every respect. Caramel and bread flavors. Clean finish. Will have again this season as distro is limited.

This was lighter than many bocks but quite good. poured a orangish amber with thin head the aroma and taste were malty and nutty with sweetness coming through on the finish. I found it quite enjoyable and a good pairing with ribs.

Thanks to David (Lilihel's bother) for this one... and enjoyed in Nashville. Pours a copper colour with a beige head with wavy lacing. Lightly carbonated with tiny bubbles. Dark roasted malt scent with a bit of nut. Watery mouthfeel. Soft taste of roasted malt and nutty with a touch of coffee. More of a refreshing easy-drinking bock than a real bock, but still a pretty good average one.

Pours a nice clear dark mahogany with a rather thick, if not persistent, pale yellowish tan head. Aroma is crisp and malty with just a hint of spice. Flavor is malty with a hint of hops and just a whisper of cloves. Texture is smooth, fairly tingly, a bit on the watery side but still pleasant.

Nice aroma of caramel and biscuits, with a large, two-finger head that dissipated leaving good lacing. Heavy mouthfeel, with a slightly roasted flavor, and caramel aftertaste.

This beer was rather pedestrian for my tastes. It was decent enough but nothing really extraordinary. The beer was a tad on the malty side. It also tasted a bit like artificial caramel flavoring.

A deep brownish mahogany colored beer. Small tannish head rises above. Settles far too quickly with no lacing left behind. A far too faint aroma of toasted malt is in the nose. The body is light to medium. Some creaminess. The flavoring is equally weak. Some malt. Some dark fruitiness. Okay, but nothing in the wow factor.

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 12oz bottle into a pint glass. There was no freshness date on the bottle. Appearance: The body has good clarity and a dark brownish color with a nice big fluffy head on top. The head is white in color and doesn’t hang out for long. Before it settles down to just a wispy thin layer it does make a few lace rings on the glass. Smell: Its aroma is full of sweet malt and dark bready notes. Taste/Mouth: The flavor has a sweet and bready character with caramel notes, soft pretzel, and light nutty notes. The finish adds some mild hop notes for balance and a little dryness. Still overall it finishes on the sweet side. On the palate it has a good medium to full body with nice active carbonation and a smooth slick texture. Notes: This bock was very tasty and easy drinking.
