Pour is a dark brown with a average tan head. Aroma is nothing to write home about, just some sweetness is all. Flavor is a little more decent. Some caramel malt with a touch of dark fruit. Still this is sub-par for a bock.

Bottle. Part of a Schell sampler. Of the 6 different beers, this was my favorite of the bunch. Brown-red color on the pour. Nice head. Taste is caramel malt, as expected. Body and taste were nice and full. I have had better bocks for sure, but this was one I could enjoy again.

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a ruby chestnut color with a large tan head. The aroma was light sour and tangy malts with a hint of caramel. The flavor is light caramel, tangy malts and finishes up with vague bitterness and a hint of caramel. A bit too thin and too bland. This beer has promise but fails to deliver.

I’ve tasted lots of different beers lately. This is one of the better ones. Absolutely nothing offensive. Here is the situation; it could have a bit more in flavor but that may change it’s perfect balance of enjoyability and drinkability. Couldn’t even taste the 6% alky in this one, dangerously smooth! Also, I was very happy with my variety case from Schell; pale ale, octoberfest, pilsner, caramel boch, firebrick, maifest, doppelbock, zommerfest, etc. Wow what a variety…..loved it. Schell has some of the best looking labels, too! And... I think they got a good handle on balanced flavor. This is the old Schell Bock with just a new label.

Clear reddish brown in colour, with a moka quickly dissipating head. Sweet caramel with hints of oxidation, and fruits, like prunes or plums. In mouth, a sweet malt with nutty notes, no hops, a bit harsh in aftertaste. Rather light bodied. Bottle from Piscator, merci Kris!

Slightly hazy amber-copper color, thin creamy buff head. Sweet aroma of flower nectar, caramel, and touches of banana. Sweet, bready body, strong carbonation, again with hints of banana in addition to dark fruit. Grassy, slightly bitter finish. Better than BMC stuff, but not an alternative to better craft beers on the shelves at most stores.

Bottled. A standard commercial bock: not incredible, but a good buy for the money. Pours a nice caramel color ’neath a parfait-like head. Taste is the right kind of caramel maltiness, an inauspicious hop nose, but just a touch of phenol. Still; drinks well, no really off flavors; I’d easily drink another.

Aromas of malt and carmel. Dark copper color, small and short lived head. Flavor of carmel, malt, and sugar. Medium body. Not as sweet as many bocks. Good.

Tried this on tap at the Bock Beer Festival at the brewery. The festival was outside, so the beer was colder than it should be, until a metal rod is pulled from the bonfire and put into the beer, warming it and bringing out the flavor. The beer is nothing special I'm afraid, thin with a standard bock flavor. Some carmel.
