Served on tap at the Ukiah Brewing Company in a goblet. (Only place you can get it).

A: Deep dark amber, with a nice head that quickly disappeared.

S: TONS of roasted malt and buscuity goodness.

T: WOW! The malt comes flying through, with a satisfying sweetness following soon after. The 7.0% ABV is misleading - the beer finished with a nice warmth that suggested more.

MF/D: Quite thick for a straight bock, slightly grainy. It was good to drink though, and enjoyable from start to finish. Didn't quite go with my fish and chips, but my food stayed untouched while I focused my attention on this find. My suspicions about the alcohol content was confirmed when the bartender said (I'm not kidding here) "Yeah, I think it's more like 8.5. It's a nice little bonus!" Whether this was a brewing accident or the way it is normally, it adds a lot of character to the beer. If you're in Ukiah, be SURE to stop and try this beer. (There's not a lot else to do up there!)
