Pint at the brewpub. Thin white head. Poor carbonation. Hazy amber pour.. not a great bock, --- Beer merged from original tick of Animal Army Howling Wolf on 01 Oct 2013 at 11:05 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6. Original review text: Pint at the brewpub. Thin white head. Low carbonation. Just talked to Erik the manager of the Fiddler and they changed the yeast and tweaked the recipe. Good job. Last years was pretty bland. Thus is better but needs more carbonation imo. There are better bocks out there

Draft at the brewpub. Clear amber pour with a thin white head. Little in the aroma. Smooth slightly bitter malty taste and the American hops are there in the background but they are not prominent. A decent session ale.

Some alcohol evident. --- Beer merged from original tick of Animal Army Howling Wolf on 02 Oct 2013 at 13:34 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7. Original review text: Draft at The Fiddler. Pours hazy amber brown with a tan head. Aroma of dough, nuts, yeast, light herbs and a little caramel. Flavour is light moderate sweet and over moderate bitter. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. It’s really a very weird take on a bock beer, but at the same time not too bad. Definite improvement on last year’s recipe.

Cask at the brewpub. Poured a "north sea crude oil" colour. I guess it was cloudy too. I couldn't tell. Thin tan head and the lace was short lived. Roasted malt aroma that developed as the beer got warmer. An interesting taste. There was chocolate, coffee, malt and molasses which probably came from the hint of bitterness that I really wasn't expecting. Black Mamba? More like Black Adder :-) Would I order another as thats the real test? I'm on the fence, but leaning towards the no side. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draft at the brewpub. Poured a cloudy amber with a thin white frothy head. Classic English bitter aroma. It smells like the sticky cellar floor of a city centre boozer! Sadly though the flavour didn't match the aroma and massively disappointed. There simply wasn't enough bitterness in this brew and the palate was almost none existent. Lions Den? I think the Lion is pushing up the daisies! ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
