12 ounce can from Woodman’s Appleton, 3/12/22. Clear, well, peach. Large pillowy white head, good retention. Aroma of tart peach, peach pits. Comes across as real. Taste is tart peach, pale malt. Juicy, so the name fits. Overall, a pretty well made fruit beer.

Can from JR's. Brown clear beer with a nice head. Smell is a little off and farmy. Does have the big real chocolate flavor but I think its more like milk chocolate rather than dark chocolate. Its sort of like dull milk chocolate if you want a better description. Like nestle quick minus the sugar. Not bad, and better tasting than most chocolate beers I had. Even has an aftertaste that is reminiscent of chocolate. Quite flat on the palate and rather smooth. Finish is nothing but what? Chocolate? You got it. My wife is a chocolate lover but didn't really care for the taste of this one. I found it to be quite acceptable.

I have an appreciation for the style although it is nowhere near top-level. Generally the beers are all right, just not very challenging. This evening I have a 12 oz bottle of Toasted Bock that was obtained at the neighborhood HEB supermarket. There is my New Belgium globe glass out for the sampling and I tilt the bottle for the pour. I see a dark chocolate brown liquid with amber highlights showing with a backlight and a momentary head of light taupe foam. The scent is grain and something roasty. The drink is a nice surprise, a little more working here than I expected. A nutty flavor, toasted bread, field and just the barest bit of toffee sweetness. Not as thin as others. One of the better bocks I have sampled.

Aww hell this one fails to deliver. Promising start, a nice reddish brown color with modest head. Nose has a nice caramelized thing going on, but the sweet melanoidiny malt expected on the tongue is just barely there. Finishes with an earthy mild bitterness, I feel like I'm steeling from puboflyons below with that comment, but its really there. But there's just no depth, a tad thin in the body. Not that I'm expecting a big heavy complex beer here (I don't even want that), but its still just not where it needs to be.

Pour is a dark brown with a foamy tan head. Aroma is a pretty decent hit of cocoa powder. Flavor is flavor is more cocoa powder. Not much of a dunkel with this, it is full on about the chocolate. Decent beer and full of chocolate flavor I just don't know if I would ever want more the one of these.
