A traditional bock beer, using 100% Munich malt and balanced with German Hallertau hops. Maltiness dominates the flavor, but with a very complex background of hop bitterness, floral yeast character, and a very intriguing nutty quality.

A -- Appearance is good to the style of a Traditional Bock, but the label says it's dark -- this ain't dark. Clear, deep gold to orange color with a massive, light tan head that settles slowly and leaves some nice lacing.

S -- Spicy and earthy hops in the nose, some vague caramel back. Not great to style.

T -- Wow, big diacetyl hit up front, malt and alcohol back and bready malt in the aftertaste, even some mild astringency. Some of that earthy, herbal hop quality present too and even some mild fruitiness. If it wasn't for the diacetyl and fruitiness, I'd rate this higher.

M -- Slick mouth-feel, almost buttery. Medium bodied.

D -- This beer is definitely drinkable, but the characters are far from what I'd expect in any style of Bock.

Poured into a pilsener glass, the appearance was a semi-dark amber color with a finger's worth of quickly dieing foamy white head. Sliding stringy lace.
The aroma had some strong sweet bready malts, light nuts, earthy to grassy hops and a mild earthy/semi-spicy hoppiness.
The flavor was moderately sweet with the malts take the foreground while the spiciness sat a bit further back. Delicate malty dry sweet aftertaste.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt good. Semi-smooth sort of bready malty sort of finish.
Overall, pretty nice bock that I would have again if I could get it.

L: Pours brilliant amber with red highlights under a ½” white foam collar that provides light lace.
S: Primarily fresh whole grain bread aromas with some spicy hops.
T: Starts bready sweet with traces of caramel and malt spice leading to a moderate bitter finish and a slight tangyness.
F: Medium body and medium carbonation.
O: An easy to drink bock.

12 oz bottle. Pours hazy amber with a short-lived off-white head and crazy carbonation. Aroma is of fermented apple juice and hint of peppery hops. Body is medium and tangy. Taste is caramel malt and peppery hops. Finish is long and spicy. There is something wrong with this bottle.
