This is good. Very much like Full Sail Boardhead or Lagunitas Brown Shugga. I am surprised they call it a bock; they might have called it an ale or a barleywine. This beer is opaque and brown. The head lasts as a thing ring, and there is a lot of sediment, especially for a style that so often has little or no sediment at all. There is an aroma of brown sugar, citrus-hops, and fermenting orange juice. Flavor is very sweet, but this has only a hint of the standard bock carmel and sweet malt. Instead, there is more sugar and fruit. Fairly thick. Quite good, especially for the low price, but not very bocky.

Dark brown pour. Sweet, maple aroma with notes of old leather. The flavor was full of vinegar on top of sweet syrup. The alcohol was quite noticable. Mouthfeel was thick and syrupy. Past its prime? Let’s hope.

22oz bottle. I must say I’m excited about this one: an imperial nut brown, interesting concept, let’s see if they can pull it off. Pours extremely dark brown with a 1" brown head. Aromas of bubblegum, sweet malts, slight maple. Thick and syrupy in the mouth, with a definite natural maple flavor. Very interesting, and I enjoy it- but it’s a bit too sweet for me to want to revisit regularly... the more I drink, the less I want. Hmm... ease up on the sweetness a bit and this’d gain a few extra points.

Thanks to Goldtwins for this one. Typical American Lager all the way. Large white head over a clear, medium yellow body. Lightly hopped and light malt come through in the aroma. The flavor mirrors the aroma but remains washed out and thin. Refreshing and decent but remains a real lawnmower beer.

Bottle. Sweet apple-peach and hops aroma. Cloudy amber color with small head. Slghtly sweet apple malt flavor with a moderate hoppy finish. Nicely balanced - just a tad on the weak side.

Bottle. Light malt aroma - not very distinct. Light yellow with small head. Sweet light malt - not very strong. Rather blah.

Bottle. A deep molasses/fudge aroma. Medium dark brown color with small head. Sweet dark maple syrup and light malt flavor. On the light side palatewise. I would like more of a malty beer flavor.

Bottle. Creamy chocolate/molasses malt aroma with moderate astrigency. Cloudy orange brown color with small head. Sweet molasses and port/sherry flavor - mild astringency to the finish. Much more sherry flavor and less astringent tartness than the German doppelbocks I’ve tried.
