Growler bought about a three weeks ago, drank on 7/7/18.
Look - Dark if not black with half a finger of head that dissipated relatively quickly.
Smell - The only really smell I got out of it was kind of a "watery" smell which I thought was kind of odd, but may be indicative of the fresh nature of strong lager (even though I'm not exactly drinking a fresh growler). Edit - on second growler refresh, I get more of a breadth and doughy smell.
Taste - A bit roasty, a bit bready and malty, and maybe a little Belgiany - this might be from the bready malts or from Trillium's signature yeast - either way, with was mild and really nice. The ABV is well hidden and could easily catch up with you.
Feel - Medium bodied, but goes down smoothly.
Overall - A nice take on a style I've never had, but I don't know if it would fly as a regular offering given the high ABV and the lesser popularity of "bocks". It's probably a little too roasty for mainstream tastes, and I wouldn't mind that being toned down more to just above dunkel levels. Having said that, there are some German eisenbocks and other bocks that I can't name at the moment (but have really enjoyed in the past), that this beer could easily sit next to on a shelf in a liquor store in a 12 oz. bottle, so maybe bottling it for limited offerings for a selective target market might not be too far out of the question. Either way, I sure enjoyed it. Cheers!
