Poured a deep bronze color with another nice thick crown that lasted for quite awhile,great clarity in the color and a nice big head like it should have.Aromas had a touch anice- like spice to go along with caramel and faint rum-like notes.Caramel and brown sugar notes stand out in the flavor profile but it's not overly sweet with a decent dryer bready base holding up to the sweetness.The better of the two bocks I had at the brewery last weekend.

Ruby amber body light tan head flows forth its a beauty. Aroma had dark fruit plums and a light booze amongst big malts cereal grains caramel roasts galore. Clean lagering techniques result in a fruit forward crisp drinking bock, absolutely filled with dark fruits and what not. Carbonation is natural carries the big beer forward without much problems. Great winter beer seasonal enjoy it with friends!

Twist top bottle into a mug.
A- Clean, copper body sports moderate-heavy carbonation. A normal pour creates a 1-1/2 finger, fizzy tan head. Hard drops a little quickly and leaves little lacing. Nice body otherwise.
S- malty at first. Caramel or English toffee. Significant hopping. Almost woody. More brown sugar and some baking spice comes out with a little warmth.
T- Quite malty. I expected a bit more punch at the higher end of the traditional bock ABV strength. Fairly rich. Hops add a spicy zing and keep the rich malts in check. It's growing on me halfway into my glass.
M- a little thinner than first expected. Clean. Moderate-heavy carbonation. A bit sticky in the end.
O- Heightened expectations aside, I'll keep it in perspective and call it a pretty good standard bock beer. At 7% ABV I thought it would be more robust. Still, a nice treat on a cold winter day.

12 oz bottle poured into a pint glass
appearance- deep red almost mahogany. thick off white head that slowly faded.
smell- caramel malts and a little bit of fruit.
taste- sweet, too sweet, caramel malts and maybe a little bit of fruity sweetness. i really enjoyed the first sip but the sweetness was way too overpowering.
mouthfeel- lighter body and medium carbonation
overall- the smell and first sip of this beer had me wanting more but the sweetness quickly took over and as the beer warmed even slightly, it was on a shelf not refrigerated, the sweetness became too much for me.
