Enjoyed on tap at the brewery. Pours cloudy light yellow. White head crowning it. Malty aroma. The taste is a good balance between malt and bitter, biased of course to malt sweetness, and it is chewy. The bitterness is a mineral water bitterness, nice and keeps me draining the glass. Satisfying.

Listed as a Winter bock. Sort of a Maibock crossed with a doppelbock?
A: Amber-caramel colour (light doppelbock or a darker Maibock?) with an off-white head, good retention & lacing.
S: Dark caramel, bread, dark fruit, herbal and some sulfury mineral from their lager yeast (which is more prominent in this bigger brew).
T: Plenty of malt & hop flavour with a subtle alcohol warmth. Bread, caramel, dark fruit, quite herbal with a grassy, peppery spicing. Surprised by the bitterness in this, but it certainly complements the sweet malts. The hopping & bitterness say Maibock, but the malt says doppel. The yeast has more character than a lot of the modern, clean lagers... and I like it. With a little more time to mellow (lager?), I think this would be a solid 4.5.
M: Moderately-full body is smooth, slight hint of residual sweetness with a hint of a slightly drying alcohol finish. Quite nice.
D: This is my kind of winter warmer!
I love German bocks, but we haven't had many locals. For years I drank Creemore's Urbock, but last year Amsterdam strengthened their spring bock, and now this year we've got Duggan's & Grand River's!

On tap at the brewpub. Got a little bit before it ran out.
Pours a crystal clear brownish orange, thick slightly off white head forms and settles down to a medium ring around the glass, some lace spots stick.
Smell is nice, sweet and malty, very heavy caramel and bread, some biscuit, slightly grainy, a bit of grape skin and some fruitiness, raisin, nice and malty but a little estery.
Taste is similar, very heavy malts, toffee, quite grainy, some bread and biscuit, grapes, light fruit, a little sweet in the finish, lightly earthy.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied with low to medium carbonation. Pretty nice stuff, very malty, but maybe a touch too estery. Still nice stuff.
