Sampled at Texas Beerfest. Pours a cloudy orange copper with a small frothy white head that leaves decent spotty lacing along the glass. The aroma is a sweet floral hop and wheat. Medium mouthfeel with a sweet hop and honey flavor. Easy to drink, a very good heller bock from Rahr.

Small yellow rim; virtually black beer. Bourbon, vanilla and moccha; sweet chocolate as alcoholic pralines (Belgian chocolates). Petit Beurre cookies; demure, bit of moccha and diluted chocolatedrink. Warming up, the coffee and chocolate flavours increase in strength. Lighter than expected, still very slick. Some alcoholwarming. Rather disappointing flavour, especially after the promising nose. Many thanks to Dirk!

Hohler und trockener Antrunk mit Hopfennoten, die kaum den säuerlichen Unterton verdecken können. Leider weitet sich der Hopfen nicht aus, ab dem Mittelteil ist das Bier stattdessen wässrig und bitter. Leicht gersitg, zum Ende ist wieder eine minimale Hopfigkeit auszumachen. Die Bitterkeit dagegen ist weiter in vollem Maße vorhanden. Wässriger schneller Ausklang. 11/7/6/6/8/6

Refrigerated bottle through trade with cavie poured into a shaker glass. Pours a very dark brown with medium brown highlights and little beige head. A little lacing, medium body, and low carbonation. Taste is light caramelly malt, raisen, some biscuit, some nuttyness, some hops, and a hint of chocolate. Typical scotch ale taste, alcohol is well covered, and this is good for the style.

Bomber from ericandersnavy. Thanks man! Pours very dark with a creamy darkish tan head. Roasted aroma - backed by chocolate. Near full bodied. Flavor is complex. First impression is either rum or chocolate. Definitely some dark malt. Maybe some floral or grassy hop? It’s sort of chewy. Think there’s treacle and dark fruit. And coffee comes out. Maybe cooking cherry. It’s definitely not all that sweet. And a persistent tang comes in the aroma with every sip. Pretty good drinkin!

Received this in trade from TexIndy, thanks for the opportunity. Pours a nice dark brown with ruby highlights when held to light. Nice size off white head dissipates quickly. Aroma of Smoky nutty roasty malts. Not much hop to be found in the nose. Tastes like it smells, roasted malt bitterness in the finish. Bubbly creamy mouthfeel. Medium to thin in the body. I thought the carbonation seemed a bit to high and lessened my enjoyment of this brew. Overall a decent brew, I could see myself enjoying a few of these.
