12 oz bottle into a Perfect Pint

A: A fine, sizable, cake-y tan head with some solid retention tops a clear, deep brown body. Just a bit of carbonation up through the body. Nice patches of lacing as the head gradually recedes. Dark cherry and ruby shades when held up to light.

S: Sweet, clean malt with a little toast and a little sherry. Then some alcohol, and a bit of hops thrown in. The nose is just right, for the style. Not as overwhelming as a doppelbock, much more subdued--and thus very good.

T: Starts off a touch sweet, with hints of raisin, rounding into a dark malt with some roast at the end. No hops up front, really, and just enough in the back to keep things manly. Just a little alcohol taste. Clean and straightforward, and to style.

M: Full, creamy, and mouth-coating. A bit of heat from the alcohol. Not sticky or cloying. Just right.

O: This beer is excellent. It's a really solid rendition of the style, it's not pricey, and it's fresher than most Germans available for purchase. Definitely trumps other American bocks I've had. I don't know how this isn't an A beer.
