From the basement cooler.... 12oz picked up by Brenda's parents over Christmas; I asked them to stop a couple places along the way and get me some "Montana Beers". This is the last of the Toad Back Bocks they brought along.
Aggressive pour left a minimal head atop a coffee colored brew.. no lacing.
Caramel malts and little else.. light yeasty fruitiness.. and an earthy hop aroma... not alot going on here.
Flavor is actually worse.. watery sweet roasted/caramel/lite chocolate grains... flavor is more like a strong grain tea than a bock... more fruitiness.
Low carbonation... Probably the most redeeming quality is the mouthfeel is on the light side of average.. It doesn't strike me at all that a lager yeast was used in this one.
All Neptune brews need more body, especially when dealing with something like a bock.. Their hefe was suprisingly good, but I am judging that by notes, not sitting here trying to finish one of their bottles... this is the 6-7th time I've had this one, and I will only ever buy it again just to see if they ever get the mouthfeel issue together.
