This eclectic beer has an amber color and warm rich flavor that lingers. It's brewed with caramel malts with Saaz, Willamette and Cascade hops. This Belgian Bock is as rich, warm, and unique as Pierre Celis, the man who first made it.

Old tasting notes. Brewer in Austin, Texas. Orange red color. Frothy white head. Malty toffeeish aroma. Sweetish malt flavor is full bodied and flavorful. Pleasant herbal hop finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small frothy off white head that leaves decent spotty lacing. The aroma is a bready malt with caramel. Thin mouthfeel with a light roast malt with caramel, raisin and brown sugar. Easy to drink with a spicy finish. A good Belgian from MBC.

bottle - Pours hazy light amber with a one finger off-white head. The aroma is mild malt and spice. It tastes of sweet malt and spice with a touch of cherries. Decent brew.

Location: 12 oz bottle, 10/22/09
Aroma: Toasted grains, caramel, orange
Appearance: Hazy golden-orange color
Flavor: Malty with a medium sweetness
Palate: Light-medium body, somewhat creamy
Overall Impression: This beer was alright. It's not very exciting, but it is drinkable. It is a little bit on the boring side. You can drink it, it may quench your thirst, but it is not going to excite anyone.

Bottle. Pour is the color of maple syrup and supports just a little bit of a fizzy beige head. Aromas are of bread and apples with a little bit of a nut and earth side to them. Flavor is a little like gunky apple juice or something... a bit of bread in the finish, but this one needs a little something different to get me excited. As is, it’s not a drainpour, but it’s not something I will revisit.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy bronze-brown color with a large tan head. The aroma was faint with tangy malts and was a touch vegetal. The flavor was tangy, sour, lightly fruity and faintly vegetal. The finish was short, sour and tangy. Eh.

12 oz. bottle from Beer Geek. Copper amber color with a decent off-white head. Aroma of citrus and a little spice. Near medium body with rather creamy carbonation. Flavor is rather malty sweet, with some citrus and likely coriander. Seems to be a lot of caramel, and a lot of citrus/coriander to temper it. Despite that it still seems not very bitter. It’s just the wrong type of sweet for a Belgian in my view, and a little more hop might have been an improvement. It’s slowly growing on me though.
