not quite red head

Looks perfectly OK

 The smell from the opened bottle is pungent, something like one might expect from a porter.  It fills the glass, looking thick and creamy, but with little head.  It is, in fact, bubbly, but not foamy.  I suppose it's the bock part, but the flavor is also leaning towards porter rather than lager.  There's a sharpness, just a hint of sour, and a round, mouth-filling malt.  As I drink, it occurs to me that it should be accompanied by something sweet, or perhaps with just a little salt.  Peanuts, I guess, or other nuts.  It might be the time, but I also feel a little craving for brownies.

Not much of a "ruby red"
