Handwritten notes: This Bock sports the toffee and caramel flavours it boasts of. However, it's surprisingly light and not at all syrupy. My main beef with other Bocks is that they taste and drink like the icing on a coffee cake. Not this mofo. I generally like what Sleeman's makes, but they often straddle mediocrity by playing it safe. Make a huge flavour that smacks me in the mouth, boys. C'mon, I have it coming.
