An American bock-style lager brewed with three unique malts including roasted and caramel and specialty malts. This dark mahogany lager has a rich, nutty aroma with a gentle hint of caramel malt sweetness. This American-style bock has a deep malty body that pours with a tall head.

I’ve sampled this more than enough times.
I’ve had this more than enough times in pint glasses but also in pilseners and honeslty, there was barely any difference between the two.
The appearance was always a nice looking hazy amber to red color with a semi-decent transparency letting some carbonation to be seen rising. The head was about a decent one finger white foaminess that quickly dissipated and left no lacing.
The smell had a fairly decent amount of caramel malts that seemed fairly authentic. There was nothing burnt or overly cooked. It was good.
The taste was sweet through the caramel malts.
The palate sat at/about a nice light to medium and showed a fairly decent sessionable quality about it.
Overall, I say this wasn’t a bad American Amber/Red Lager, its a fairly decent one worthy of having again.

Dark Reddish Mahogany Color, Big Head, Light Strings Of Lacing. Virtually No Aroma. Grainy, Light Toast, Light Bitter. Watery Thin Body. Nothing Bock About It, Dark Lager. Not Terrible, Drinkable. Then Again, Just Because it Is Not a Drain Pour, Does Not Mean It is Worth Having It.. Pass It...

Smooth malty, highly drinkable. Some roasted aroma, a hint of caramel, some grain and slightly bitter till the end… --> not bad.

Bottle. Amber color with foamy off-white head that dissipated quickly, very little toast aroma, quite flat taste, low carbonation, abrupt finish. Better than a generic lager, but not much better.

Pleasantly surprised, as I was expecting this to suck. Pours medium brown with thin head, light malty aroma, taste is malt, caramel, slightly nutty. Mild bitterness and faint lingering flavor. Kudos to Bud for making something drinkable.

Draft @ Pinch. Pours a nut brown with minimal head. Aroma of roasty nuts and caramel. Taste is light sweet. Caramel and roasty nuts. Medium bodied with a thin texture. Lively carbonation and a decently long finish. Overall, not bad. It would be great for drinking outside on a hot day.
