Small off-white head over dull amber beer, slightly hazy. Fruity and spicy nose, bit gassy. Faint molasses, fluid honey and the kind of fruit eaten as vegetables. Dry, leafy, and a bit burning; going over to quite sweet, syrupy and molasses-rich brew. Malts and adjuncts. Again a lot of fruity esters, "hot" fermentation. Not very well-bodied. Burning MF remains throughout; feels better carbonated than it looks. Bit lame and especially sweet. What puzzles me most is that this bottom-fermented Bock breaths esters and fusels.
