On tap at the brewery. It's an opaque black with no sparkle, ring of off-white head and no lacing. Aroma is subtle roasted earthy malt and European hops. Taste is roasted malt perhaps with a hint of maple? Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, really weak (virtually absent) maple almost has me wondering if I was given the Irish Stout instead...

Draft at source. Brown reddish beer color. The beer hides the 8% well, which is easier to do with all the spices. The base beer was a bit flabby and mostly a vehicle for spices. A friend at the table thought this was a pumpkin beer.

Draft at source. Dark brown color. Aroma is alcohol, fruit, a little wet scotch Ale like malts and leaves and soil. A little sweet syrup. Toffee toasty aroma. Flavor is surprisingly light with sweet light fruits and alcohol essence. Not astringent. Not too sweet or fruity. Short finish. Real nice brewpub version.

Pour is a clear brownish with a small white head. Aroma is a small roast with some toffee. Flavor is a super dry dark bread with some caramel. Finish is very dry and bready. Don’t know why this is considered a winter lager but it’s a decent bock.
