Was miffed when I put two and two together, realizing this beer was bock variety. Don't love bocks. Wish there was type identification to go with beer name (and effectively cheeky label). Where this beer succeeds is hops surplus to go with healthy malts. Perfect balance. The result? Stellar doppelbock.

Bit of a letdown. At Whole Foods' Cold Point Pub, I bought a ticket for a beer. Went up to get it. Got stuck behind dude getting growler. The growler kicks. Whole negotiation ensues. Serious rigamorole. What are you gonna do? Some tasty hints of caramel, but nothing transcendent.

Friends bought me one from our local bar a couple weeks ago. Drinking it now. This fine, powerful brew has sentimental value. Usually like to drink one to "celebrate" Phillies victories. Chase Utley doesn't have to have his leg amputated...yet. That's reason to "celebrate!" Love the cool horsey toy.
