The pour is the best thing about this beer, after that, it's all downhill.
Clear mahogany brown, with a good inch of frothy tan head, but it struggles to leave any lace in the ol' Corsendonk tulip.
Almost no aroma, had to dig deep to find some grainy husks and malt. Which, by the way, goes for the quaff - just a glass of nothingness here. No sweetness, just a semi-harsh finish of gritty hop rinds.
Wow, not a good, or even decent, bock.

Another of the many Leinenkugel's beers tasted from 2008-2010. Well, it ain’t bad, but it ain’t exactly memorable either. Bit spicy. Aftertaste could be better. 2010/02/08
