3.49/5  rDev -7.9%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
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
