Appearance: Dark brown, good head.
Smell: Fruity, sweet, bananas?, caramel.
Taste: Balanced start, mild toast and mild fruit flavors. A little more roasted malt along with light toffee. Medium bodied. Finishes with the toffee and roast note.
Overall: An interesting beer, hard to put it in a category. Not sweet, not bitter, not roasty, not earthy. Maybe most reminds me of a brown ale, but not a super flavorful one. Not as strongly flavored as most bocks.

Taste is caramel, chocolate, and roast, some people might call it a heavy toasted but to me it's more of a roast. A little bread/grain. Some what smooth. It has some sweetness, but also has plenty of bitterness. A hint of dry in the finish.
The mouth feel is ok but not the smoothest and slightly thin.
A OK beer but not sweet enough for me to be called a lager bock.
I will give it a 3.84/5
