Tasted before keging and tasted good

So far the beer has a very good taste. Has a slightly sweet taste with little bitterness. I beleive this is right for the "Bock" style...little hop bitterness. It has been keged but still sits in cellar at 52 degrees. Plan on taping keg by mid summer. That means that the beer would have been in a keg for at least two months...but I would prefer it to stay in conditioning mode for another 4 months. I may have brewed this in March but not sure. If I was drinking it right now I'd be enjoying the nicely aged brew! But great at 3 months.
